why is this world so damn confusing?

im starting to think that life is just a game. in the beginning its fun or whatever and once you get older, people expect you to succeed somehow. I guess thats how you "win" the game but geez....you'd think people would give you a break once in a while? and what are the rules in the game of life? who is and isnt eligible to play? sometimes i get so fed up with trying to move my piece further and having setbacks because of opponents. it pisses me off! anyway...im ranting. this is just how i feel. ><
