My best friend is dead. This best friend I met through Destiny, right before Destiny 2 came out. This best friend introduced me to more great friends. As this friend was dying, I turned to this game to do anything I could, and the community came out in droves. My dad bought me Destiny 1 in September of 2014 because he didn't want me playing Advanced Warfare. (It had blood.) i only made 2 friends in Destiny 1, but I was really close with both of them. I only started playing Destiny beyond a casual level in Shadowkeep. I started raiding more and getting into LFGs, and eventually met Memoy. Memory is the person responsible for all of my achievements in destiny. they asked me to be on their Deep Stone Crypt Day 1 team. Clearing that raid made me want more. I started being more active in the D2 Twitter scene, and that's how I've met all of you. I've spent so much time in the game over the last 5 years and even more on Twitter talking about it. In that time, I've made some of the best friends I could possibly imagine. Getting added to the ratio reborn v2 group chat (iykyk) and meeting wingmeals, mj, luke, crimsn, and so many more made my time in this community so much brighter. This game is nothing without the friends you make playing it, and im so glad i got to be a part of all of your lives, even if it was just in a small way. I hope you all think of me when you see Shibas, that would mean the world to me. Thank you for everything. 🩵
