i guess in a way,
life can be described
as one big
game of uno.

life isn’t nearly as easy as 
a card game, but it does 
relate to uno in a way.

in uno you don’t get to decide
what cards you’re handed.
but you do get to decide what you do with those cards. 
also in uno, you either win or you lose,
there is no in between.

it’s the same way in this life,
that we’ve all been given a chance at.
you don’t get to decide the experiences
that are handed to you, or should i say thrown,
because that’s an exaggeration 
that fits life in this case.
but you do get to choose
what you’re going to allow those experiences 
to do to you.
those experiences can make you or break you.
in other words, you can choose 
to push through the bad ones if possible,
or you can let them consume you.
you can let the good ones motivate you,
and take it as a good thing,
and be grateful for the good ones 
that have been thrown at you,
or you can just brush them off,
while slowly forgetting them all together.
some experiences are just all together,
too good to forget. 
too good to just brush off,
too good to just pass on to the next player
in this life that we’re each given,
which relates to uno in a strange way.
