play the game.

life is like a game of cards.
playing one card after the other, maybe passing - sometimes folding.
you may win, or lose.
it’s not life you win or lose;
rather, it’s experiences -
days, people, even places.
in order to win or lose, you don’t just have to play the cards in a certain (right) way.
you also have to bet.
bet for your days, people, even places.
each experience is a different game, a game with ever so many and fascinating rounds.
this game, I’ve lost it.
or is it just a round?
I know two things for certain:
one,
I am not going to fold;
and two,
I am getting better at playing.
