LAST BLOG!

 I'm gonna be honest, I haven't been playing much Pokémon recently. I've had the time to go out and play, but the motivation to do so eludes me. This was quite the difficult challenge. At first, I was so excited to go out and catch them all, but after a while, I started to get bored of the game. The more and more Pokémon I caught, the more and more I realized how meaningless it all was.

Pokémons are not real. They never were real, and never will be real. In my quest to be the best there ever was, I lost sight of the true goal. The goal was never to actually catch them all. The real goal was the journey, and all the friends we made along the way. Chasing material things such as Pokémon on the phone screen ended up bringing me no joy or fulfillment in life.

As I journey on in life, I realize how valuable a lesson this was to learn. The end goal is not always what is important. Chasing after material possession will only lead to more sadness rather than joy. At the end of the day, enough is never enough. We as humans always want more, never content with where we are, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but ends up being bad when we keep reaching more. Truly I say, the less we focus on the goal and the more we focus on the journey, the more we will grow as people.

While writing this blog, I remembered the lyrics to my favorite song. It goes:

I wanna be the very best

Like no one ever was

To catch them is my real test

To train them is my cause

I will travel across the land

Searching far and wide

Teach Pokémon to understand

The power that's inside

(Pokémon

Gotta catch 'em all) It's you and me

I know it's my destiny (Pokémon)

Oh, you're my best friend

In a world we must defend (Pokémon

Gotta catch 'em all) A heart so true

Our courage will pull us through

You teach me and I'll teach you (Ooh, ooh)

Pokémon! (Gotta catch 'em all)

Gotta catch 'em all

Yeah

I thought about these lyrics for a while. Is it truly my destiny to catch them all? I mean I wanted to be the very best, like no one ever was, but was this really my fate? Perhaps it was Ash Ketchum's future to become the best, but maybe my story has a different ending. Life is full of mysteries and surprises, and maybe I have yet to figure out what I'm truly meant to be.

To anyone who made it this far, thanks for reading my blog! I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. May your future be bright and filled with hope and jubilation. Bye!
