An Open Letter to Flappy Bird


Dear Flappy Bird,

You don’t know me but I know you pretty well. I’ve only known you for two days but you’ve already caused me so much pain. You made me think that I am not capable of taking care of you and you made me feel like such a loser, I’ve let you fall more than a thousand times already. If your bones can break maybe you’re powdered by now. That’s how many times I’ve let you hit the huge pipes. And that made me wonder why those pipes are even taller than those buildings in the city? Is that some kind of pipe mutation? And don’t get me started with you, with your inability to fly on your own. Is it because you’re overweight? I seriously think that you have to eat healthy, I’m guessing your BMI is out of bounds. If it’s normal you can just fly on your own like every normal avian and not depend on some humans to tap tap tap.

Flappy bird, it’s just TWO days but I’ve already given up on you. My mind told me to just give it time, but I know for a fact that you will just continue to let me down (or is it me that will continue to let you down?) and I don’t want to have that anxiety again. It’s just too much especially when it comes from a bird like you. You didn’t even care to give me at least a single medal. How could you? Most of the people on my FB newsfeed are showing of and here I am sitting in a corner curled up because I just can’t have what they have. And those are freaking medals!

I have to say goodbye to you for now. When I’m ready to face the pain again you’ll know it, I’ll be guiding your unproportioned wings coursing the city.

Not Yours,
Kriann
