I went to the closet
I dig until I found my old tablet
i haven't played my tablet for years
Pretty much I grew out of it
when I became a teenager.
So I grabbed a charger
to revisit the childhood memories.
There's so much game apps I used to play
but not anymore because I move on to PC games.
I like some games appeal to me like
Skate Surfers and Fruit Ninja.
But my favorite of all time
was Minecraft.
Minecraft used to be very popular
before Fortnite became a thing
anyone would wanted to play
the game so bad
that they wanted to created buildings
and castles and forts
and wooden cabins.
But anyone including myself
grew out of the game.
And how much
it changed over the years
since it peak in 2013.
I decided to play Minecraft once more
after 3 years not playing.
Again grew out of the tablet.
I tab the app,
the game had recall me,
Many worlds remain untouched,
many of unfinished buildings,
waiting for the player finished,
building the structure that
never sawed a light of day.
I look around and recalls,
back to my memories,
of me and my friends,
and even siblings
would hang out,
tried to survived the night,
and build together,
in both Survival and Creative mode.
It reminds me of my old friends
I had those friends in
Elementary and first half
of Middle School.
We would play together in
either tablets or smart phones
some of them had a console.
We watch the Minecraft YouTubers
some of them are let's players
some of them are songwriters
and the best part about
Minecraft YouTubers
some of them are animators.
They're more entertain
than Let's Play videos
And I love their animations.
I love to spend with
my siblings and give
me tips of become
a better player.
I remember being in survival mode,
I build a house
but my house isn't that perfect
I always ran from the monsters
I always died from the monsters
especially I hated the Enderman.
I mine to find what I needed
to build a armor or a weapon to protect myself
from getting killed from the monsters.
Sometimes I died in the lava,
sometimes I died in the dungeon
Sometimes I fall down and died.
even sometimes I got killed by a monsters
including creepers.
Before Pillagers existed
I always went to the village
to trade them with emeralds
and items I need to survived.
When the sunset dawns
and the rise of the moon,
zombies will come and killed
the villagers.
I build a Iron Golem
to protect them
and saved the village.
I write stories about my adventures
and always kept in the chest.
i remember that dreadful day
I write my diary in Minecraft
that one day I'll kill the
Ender Dragon
and getting an egg
to accomplished
my experience in Minecraft
and once I have an egg,
my story of Minecraft ends.
For younger myself,
it would be the most
important milestone of my life
to grabbed and ended
my experience.
But I realize,
it's still wasn't worth it
because my life
is more important than
just a blocky 3D game
that I can't waste
my life playing the game
until I died.
Like my school, friends,
family and my future.
This is the point
that I stopped
playing Minecraft for good.
It was a broken promised
for 10 year old myself
that I should've had
that egg before I grow up.
But I would have the opportunity
if I played Minecraft again
but I already moved on
I understand life is not about video games
But Minecraft gives me values and friendship
that I never forget.
While my Minecraft experience was
now a thing of the past
it will forever in my heart
and never forget the time
I have with my friends
and I would play Minecraft again someday
and reuniting with my friends
to build together
like the good old times.
