![]() We fall into selfishness when we rely on others to dictate our moral compass.It’s easier said than done to create strong, healthy boundaries, but we need them in order to stay in a constant state of safety, security, and love. When we find ourselves needing to walk away from someone in our life who no longer supports our mental or emotional health, we need to fall back on our boundaries.But if we really sit down and think about those beliefs, we can determine which of them serve us and which of them are nothing more than destructive forces that impede our growth. We take a lot of our beliefs for granted, mainly because we lived our whole lives up to this point assuming they were fundamental “truths”.The one question that I always asked myself, whether or not I was conscious of it, was: “Do I feel safe?” And ultimately, that boiled down to yet another question: “Am I loved?”Īnd if I felt no safety or love at any moment-in holding onto a given belief, in interacting with a certain individual, in inhabiting a particular room-then I gained the clarity and the courage to climb over those walls that kept me in and found my freedom.Įli and I give our thoughts on the process of living an intentional life with a full commitment to oneself, from setting healthy boundaries, to avoiding a life lived in fear of other people’s opinions, to the true meaning of living life ever forward.įollow me on Instagram me on TikTok Highlights My goal? To rid myself of the beliefs that didn’t serve me and replace them with beliefs that do. Like everyone else, my world was flipped on its head, and I’d started questioning deep-seated beliefs I’d held all my life. It really sucks the fun out of everything and it happens so often that it became an expected part of the game after a while.I recently sat down with Eli Weinstein to share my decades-long journey to discovering and embracing the real Chase Chewning! It’s a journey that reached its critical point when I turned 35 during the COVID outbreak in 2020. I swear the game almost crashed on me a handful of times. I had to restart numerous times because the game just couldn’t keep up with me.Īdditionally, the very linear story sections almost come to a complete halt because of the fact that it chugs so hard. The puzzle levels aren’t horrible but you will find frames sluggish and it can have an impact on jumping and even pressing the action button. Unfortunately, the game runs horrific on the Switch due to it being unoptimized. It’s a game that looks the same from start to finish so other elements of gameplay would have been welcomed to shake things up. While some puzzles were truly intriguing, others just felt only ok. Personally, I would’ve liked to have seen a bit more in terms of gameplay. Aside from that though, I really don’t think there’s too much replayability past a single play. ReplayabilityĮver Forward is a pretty tough game so replaying may be worth your time as you might actually forget the solutions to its puzzles. Visuals in the art style department are fantastic with a slight anime look to things yet still maintaining a realistic look overall. I was onboard from the start because of it and I personally felt that the actors did a great job. I was surprised yet happy to find out that the game is fully voiced across its small handful of characters. It’s a title that had a clear vision and stuck to it closely. There are a couple of other gameplay mechanics thrown into it here or there but they never last longer than a single puzzle or scene. It’s aspects like this that really helped to make a hard game seem fair. And say you get stuck, you can load right back to that save spot whenever you like as well. Luckily, it takes things easy on you, slightly, as you are able to save your respawn area whenever you want. It’s definitely a game that will have you restarting its puzzles many a time and doing things over and over again. There are many obstacles that will get in your way such as robots that instantly kill you, tubes that teleport you, and switches that the cubes can activate. Every puzzle has its own nuances that differentiate one from another with the central theme throughout being that you have to get this little cube to the end of each one to pass it.Īs I said, though very modest in looks, it’s all about making sure you know how the puzzles work. I won’t lie, it had me stumped far more than I thought it would. Ever Forward’s gameplay is extremely lean in controls yet hefty in difficulty.
