Tamriel Timeshare

I’ve been playing Skyrim today

It’s been awhile

But it’s one of my favorite games

So it’s nice to be back in this world

Though, my favorite game of all time

Is actually its predecessor

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

It’s the first fantasy world I truly got lost in

The same love that people feel towards

The Lord of the Ring & Star Wars

For example

Is the love I have for the Elder Scrolls universe

Tamriel really does feel like a second home

So even just sitting with the game idling

Listening to the ambient noise of fires crackling

Mixed in with the subtle serenity of the soundtrack

Brings me a peace of existing somewhere

That actually feels familiar

When feeling lost in the real world

It’s not even the power fantasy

Of being the unkillable main character

Rather the freedom to be whoever I wanna be

& knowing that no matter what save file I load

At least the game will always remember me
