My previous post was taken down for not meeting the 1000 character limit so I guess it's story time.
Someone requested photos of us! Here's us and our dog.
Originally I played League of Legends almost entirely by myself. It was a game I used to isolate myself from my problems and was effectively an escape for my depression and anxiety. I didn't really care to play with others and preferred to solo queue.
Over one summer a friend of mine was bugging me to make a twitter for networking so I made one. Within a few weeks I got a follow notification by someone with the name "Liquid_****". I'm going to keep his actual name private for obvious reasons. Anyways I assumed he was someone with Team Liquid (I was a fan of them at the time) so I shot him a message. It turns out that he was just a Liquid fan who was following people based on his recommended tab on twitter. Eventually we shifted conversation to talking about video games and realized that we shared a common interest in League of Legends. He invited me to play with him and some of his friends later that night. I had no idea that my future Fiance would be one of those people.
I played a few games with him and his group of friends and talked to them all semi frequently. I ghosted for a bit due to depression and would pop back in to talk to the group of friends every so often. One day I was in a call on Skype with most of them when one of them left for the night. My now Fiance mentioned that the person who left (who was her boyfriend at the time) was incredibly emotionally abusive and manipulative. She was borderline crying and felt trapped in her current relationship and I felt horrible for her. I shot her a message telling her that if she ever needed me we could talk; and so we did.
Through the next few months we kept talking and she left her abusive ex and started to date me. We ended up giving each other the emotional support we desperately needed. I tried my best to build her up from where she was to ultimately get her to start to feel okay with herself again; and in turn she did the same for me.
We kept on playing together and eventually we hit a bunch of milestones in our relationship. Our first "I love you's", meeting each other's parents, until I decided to pop the question. Marriage. And even though I'm hardstuck inconsistent platinum garbage, she said yes; and I couldn't be happier.
