Ive never really talked about this, but I had been dating this girl since my sophomore year of high school. When it came time to graduate we picked different places for college and ended up hundreds of miles apart.
We wanted to try long distance and see if we could make it work, to us we believed that what we had was love and that we could beat the odds, and a multi year relationship was nothing to give up on without trying anyway…
It was so difficult those first few weeks. Going from a short drive and being able to see each other every day to only feeling each other’s presence through texts on a screen or a voice through a phone is such a cold contrast to the warmth and comfort you get when you are physically next to your partner.
We tried everything to make it easier: sending physical letters sprayed with our cologne’s or perfumes, worn sweatshirts that had our scent, even falling asleep together on facetime every night just to feel that connection. It was still agonizing.
Eventually, the rise of iron expansion released for destiny and we decided that we should try playing it together. What started as a one night date idea turned into countless hours of playing together night after night after night.
Despite being so far away from each other, seeing her guardian and her seeing mine made an indescribable difference. Our digital characters were a catalyst to manifesting each other’s presence right next to each other despite what felt like being on different sides of the world. We experienced every story, every adventure, every strike and every raid together over and over and over.
Fast forward through four years of playing destiny together to feel connected and before I know it, I’m graduating, I get my first job offer, and we move in together in a tiny little downtown cincinnati apartment. Half a decade later, we own a house together and she is my wife.
I don’t know if we would’ve made it through those four years without destiny. I’d like to think that we would have, but either way, it made everything so so so much easier.
Even if no decisions are changed, no minds are convinced, and the destiny franchise is well and truly on its way to its final resting place with no destiny 3 ever to take place, it will always live on, for me, through her.
