The worst thing that ever happened to me was going through a difficult time in my life. However, during this time I found solace and comfort in playing videogames. Not only did it provide me with an escape from my worries and stress, but I also learned how to better cope with difficult situations by playing games that required problem-solving and strategy. Playing videogames proved to be a valuable tool in helping me cope with a difficult time and gave me the opportunity to collect my thoughts, plan my next steps, and ultimately find my way forward.
