The Game

I started re-watching How I Met Your Mother last night and one of the scenes really made an impression on me the second time round. It was when Ted was throwing parties every night just so he could get a chance to see Robin, yet he was pretending not to care and making it casual because it was all "part of the game". This made me think, why is it that we have to play "the game"? Why do we let ourselves be bound by these rules? Why do we have to act like we don't care and be nonchalant when what we want and feel is the complete opposite? Is it really the best thing for us to do?

I don't know. Perhaps it might be a good idea to throw away these rules and be free.

In the end, if you never try, you never know.
