Today's motivation comes from the game Catherine. I've never played this game before, but I know of it because I'm a fan of the Completionist. Catherine is a puzzle game where you move blocks around to make it to the top of a pyramid.
The story of the game is that Vincent is in a relationship with Katherine and she is pressuring him to marry him. Vincent gets seduced by a different woman named Catherine and accidentally cheats with her. At least Vincent thinks he cheats on Katherine. Later in the game, you learn that Catherine is just an illusion.
He then goes through a series of nightmares where he has to move blocks around and climb to the top of a pyramid. Eventually, both girls leave him.
Depending on how you play the game, you will get different endings. You get a happy ending no matter what happens but you could either get back together with Katherine and live happily married or get back together with Catherine and become a super demon king (anime is weird).
Or, you could get the ending where Vincent decides not to pursue either one. Deciding that either Katherine or Catherine would be more trouble than they were worth, Vincent decides to take his life in a new direction. He makes a bet for a unknown future. A future that might provide more happiness in the long run. Vincent makes the choice to tour space.
"Why live a life without doing what you want? That's just a recipe for a life of misery..."
