Can't Get it Out of My Head

Two teen girls, who hadn't hung out since childhood, bored and trying to find something to do together. My old childhood gal pal introduced me to a computer game neither of us knew at the time would follow me into adulthood as an obsession. The game: Sims! At this time we played the first series. She helped me make a person and decorate my house. Now, years later, Sims 4 will come out soon and I still play Sims 3 when I can find time between keeping house, cooking, watching a toddler and keeping our church going and clean. I think, for me, playing this game gives me the chance to live lives I can not afford to live in my own real life. I love creating myself and Josh as super hot and in shape, which I wish I really was. I give us different jobs and life goals so I can do anything I want to do. I have kids and raise them how I want to. I think it's the feeling of having that control, of getting to play God for a little bit, even if just in a game. My own life seems to be so out of my own control at least in this fantasy dollhouse type game I can live any life I want and do what I want.
