Its easy to feel frustrated when you feel like it’s too late to go after your dreams. You hit a stumbling point or learn about the success of someone that you admire and how they went to their first E3 when they were 14 years old when you’re 27 and you’ve wanted to go to an e3 your entire life!
Patrick Klepek is a hero of mine, I don’t know how else to say it. I admire his work and strive to write as effectively and thoroughly as he does. As he recently mentioned in the new Vice gaming podcast hosted by him and Austin Walker (another personal idol of mine) he was already going to E3 as a minor media professional at the age of 14. 14! How does that happen!? Who informs you that that is an option!?
When I was 14 I legitimately still thought it was a possibility that I could one day get super powers, I was not going to E3. I knew about it and thought it would b super cool to go but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought it a possibility at that age. I have loved games since I was 2 and I have been writing creatively in some form or another since I was 10. I am not saying I have even a small amount of the talent that Patrick Klepek does but he’s not that much older than me and I didn’t know people could do that. Maybe it was already too late for that in the early 2000s but God what I would have given for the forethought of trying to get in when the getting was good.
Oh well now I have this and I am not giving up this time. I will publish something for some gaming website before I turn 30. That is my dream and that is my goal.
Let’s fuckng do this
