(no subject)

I started writing. 2 paragraphs later my heart starts thumping and I'm all excited. I'm writing about games, and I get to express my opinion. I love writing, and I love expressing opinions, I love videogames and talking about them. I even might have enough proof that what I'm saying makes true.

But I can't help the anxiety that there's not that much to follow those two paragraphs, that it will be done too soon. And the thought that I'm not allowed to have my own opinion lingers above me, the "what's right and what's wrong thing". I'm merely collecting all the stuff, I read and heard in a form of a text. And the more I watch and read the more I see there were more people with opinion like mine, and they've written books, some of them insanely interesting. So what am I even doing here?

Despite all that, I couldn't seem to find an article talking about that, a scientific article. Is it because books are expressing opinions and articles are not? My writing style is surely more book-like, I enjoy asking questions, without answering them, and I like expressing my opinion. There might be a problem, and I can try to outline it, but I don't have a solution, because it's all so subjective. At this point I don't even know what solution I would like to see, because I like variety.

For now, it's just fun to try to write about it. I wish there were no annoying formal constraints about the form. But I guess I'm gonna go with the "fuck it" approach and do it my way. Weirdly enough, I'd rather do something my way and fail rather than struggle and torture myself into conforming with the idiotic constraints. I'm not a researcher and I will never be one. I'm a gamer with my own opinions and preferences, and there's quite a high chance I'll stay one, even if it's not a valid "career". I want to have fun writing this, I've been stressing way too much recently about all those formal constraints. I see a fail on the horizon, I don't care, lol.

gaming, writing, studies
