I can’t imagine why hurting yourself like in paintball game would bring so much excitement and joy to those addicted to it. I can feel by just observing a friend while playing, how much an impact a paintball capsule brings when you are hit. Darn, what is so enjoyable in this battle game? In my mind, I never have to try it. I await my friend outside the paintball arena almost everyday, that is how addicted he was. Still, I never want to try it. There were even times I would do my errands while he is playing and then we meet after his addicting paintball sessions. Every time I am with him I get so curious why he loved and enjoyed that game so much. It just looks unappealing to me.

On his birthday, he treated me out. We ate and had fun. Of course, he wouldn’t let this special day pass without playing his special hobby. I can never get pissed off on his birthday, so I decided to just give in to his invitation, a free paintball game with my best friend. I thought to myself, ‘give in, just this once, just for today’. It was a total turn over for me. I thought I will never enjoy. I enjoyed it; actually, I did good for a first timer. I found myself wanting to play again, and again, and again. It feels good to win the battle and to be at your best always. My friend is happy that we can share hours and hours doing our now mutual favorite hobby.

I can’t imagine I have been too preoccupied with my bad thoughts that I closed my doors to experiencing it without even trying. I can’t imagine the lost time. If only I tried before, I may not have lost times waiting and doing nothing outside the field. Same thing goes for our negative thoughts about people; we really have to take a chance to get to know a person deeper before resorting to any negative thoughts or conclusions. Everybody deserves a chance. Some things may help you grow and avoiding it is avoiding the chance of a lifetime. It is funny how fickle-minded I was those days that I have been trying, to avoid the now best sport I love. If I only knew earlier, I might become the best paintball player in town, in our locality or even our country. I have my very own collection of guns, all state-of-the-art. I have come to love it and of course the chance of playing with my best friend. It has become a serious interest. From hating this activity so much to loving it and learning more about it. Sometimes it really counts to experience a certain situation before you can actually relate to it, when you can already relate to it, and then you start loving it. Never waste your time assuming, and never fear what has not happened, do what has to be done.
