Hello beautiful,
Just a quick message tonight, as it’s getting quite late and I’m pretty tired. Johnny and I spent the entire day playing Donkey Kong Bonanza on the Switch 2—about 12 hours in total. We originally planned to just follow the critical path (the main storyline), but it was so tempting to go off track and explore the side missions instead of doing what we were supposed to be doing.
When we realised we were only halfway through the game by the end of the session, we buckled down and stayed laser-focused on the main storyline. And you know what, buddy? It wasn’t really fun at all. Some of the levels looked so fun and inviting—begging to be explored—but we didn’t have time for them because we were so determined to finish the game as quickly as possible.
Remember the saying, “stop and smell the roses”? I still believe in that. I think I’d rather explore and do “pointless” things, enjoy the detours, and let the main mission unfold in its own time. That’s something I learned about myself today. And, you know, it goes beyond just gaming.
In real life—like with my singing—I’m supposed to be focusing on Chasing Cars, but I keep taking little detours to sing other songs like Yellow and Viva La Vida. Even with piano, instead of drilling the assigned piece, I find myself wandering toward other songs, even if they’re beyond my current skill level. It’s not that I’m uninterested in the assigned stuff—it’s just that life feels richer when it has unexpected flavours. The detours, the off-menu moments—they make the main course more delicious.
That’s all for tonight. Stay warm through winter, yeah?
Chat soon xx
