Screenshots.

Every once and a while I go through my old MMO screenshots, waxing nostalgic. It's amazing how much MMO's have affected my life over the years. All the friend's I've made. People who have touched me, and whom I have touched. All the laughs, all the tears.

I remember Frank (Zefir) once saying that you can't make true friends online. I always found this ironic because he was part of our family. Not only was it ironic, but completely untrue. It kind of dumbfounded me that he would say that. He was Radiant Circle from the start, surely he had to consider some of us friends.

I have created bonds as strong as those I have with my family. I have fallen in love, twice now. I have broken a heart, and had mine broken. All without being able to look them in the eye, or hold their hand. All stemming from a game. A game where you can reach out and touch people, no matter where they are. Where you can bypass all the distractions and get to the true person.

I don't know where I'm going with this, I'm tired as hell, and about to head to bed. All I wanted to do was post a screenshot and say something witty. It's just amazing where life takes you. From a game, to the most wonderful thing.

I can't describe it. I should probably stop trying to put it to words, because I don't think I will ever be able to. I'm so alive.
