When a Game Gets Frustrating

While playing a game with friends this evening, things were not working for me at all. Because of certain conditions in the game, I was the weakest member of my team. I was becoming emotionally invested in our success in the game and I felt really frustrated that I couldn't help very much. Several other players were feeling the same way. It was nobody's fault. We were all playing by the same rules. We all enforced the rules. We were all playing the game, and we all really enjoy the game. It's just that this one time it was hard.

In the end, we were successful. We made it through with what we had. Of course, it was really just a game, but it was an eventful game with friends. These situations often seem to simulate life, and the people you play with become closer friends because you battled it out together. If it were just myself, it wouldn't really have been worth it. Today, I am grateful for frustrating games with friends.
