let's go from the beginning: my friend Rafa (who I consider to be a brother) once said to me: brother, you have to play TLOU1 now! so i asked why and he said: it is the best work ever done. I, as a nerd, am intrigued.

"How can a work, whatever it is, surpass Alan Moore's comics?" (I don't know if you know, but for me it was the supreme sum of a well-written script.) I didn't have a Ps3 so Rafa lent me his. "take your time," he said.

that's exactly what I did. I appreciated every detail. Ellie and Joel's relationship ... I went on a trip and started drawing a parallel with my life. strange, I know, but I'll try to explain:

I am severe type A hemophiliac in addition to seizures. (the story short: it gives me some physical limitations) about having a cure, a life goal in this chaotic world. where people don't live, they just survive in a wild society. that spoke to me a lot.

although I have the disease under control, hemophilia leaves physical sequelae and pain. in childhood this was a big dish for school personnel. as a teenager, it was my personal hell.

I have an injury to my right leg and minor limitations in arm movement. as a child, they made fun of the way I walked. as a teenager, girls thought I was weird. I was not part of them, I had to look for my place in the world. an objective to be followed.

the point is that there is no cure for hemophilia. forever I would have to live with school people seeing me as a deformed clicker. so Ellie's journey caught me right away, as she was the personified "curing a plague".

and then you deliver that end of the first game and jesus, as i cried. I saw the goal of life that I sought so much, "the cure" was taken from me, at the same time that the life of the lovely Ellie was spared. I hated myself for imagining that this could be my cure.

let's finally go to TLoU2 (I told you the text was long) my friend Rafa enters the scene once again. he lends me his play 4 and the game (I just finished) and says: he will overcome the first. I doubted it.

Starting the game, and I see my lovely Ellie. how much I miss you! jumping to the fact that it gives the "start" in the history of the game. at that moment I traveled to my past again ... it is strange how this franchise talks to me.

I became a boy again, I saw everyone looking at me and pointing their fingers ... I was from the countryside, I went to study in the city. I was the only hemophiliac and the biology teacher decided it would be a good idea to teach the 8 year olds about it. of course.

some Bullys students decided to get together: 6 in total, another new boy I didn't know. at the time of the break, they wanted to "test what they had learned" knocked me down and "played" to kick me for 1 and a half minutes.

I was a year younger than all of them, weaker, I didn't know anyone. that was the height of savagery, but it would become commonplace. after two weeks of hospitalization, with internal bleeding, nazal bleeding and joint dislocation, I heard a "going to pass" from school.

when I managed to walk (with the help of crutches) I came back, for more bullying and suffering. until, in a silly accident at home, a few days after complete recovery, I sprain my right knee. my psychological problems can't stand and I get depressed.

I was 2 years in bed. 6 months of physical recovery, the rest was mental recovery. but the truth is that, in my dreams, I avenged myself. beat Bullys violently. I wanted them to feel what I felt!

At the end of the recovery, I had moved to another city. he was two years older, studying the same series as before. years passed but the hurt remained. the frustration of not having done anything about it.

I became a bad person because of that. until I met my girlfriend (now, woman) Amariles. and my friend / brother Rafa. that helped me release some demons. but it was his work that made me reflect ...

revenge, it eats you up inside. seeing the path that Ellie took, I was thinking: "what if I had continued with that?" thoughts and dreams where I had my revenge, where did it end?

violence will never be a means of achieving inner peace. today, at 26, i am married, i have real friends ... and i could never have had this if i continued wanting to get revenge not only on the bullys, but on the world.
