So! what's new? Well... I have met the love of my life. I adore her and she adores me. But that's not the way i'm supposed to write on this blog is it? I made this blog to geek out at every little thing in my life... so let the geeking commence!
There are tons of love stories in loads of games: Mario and Peach, Link and Zelda (depending on which game), Corvo and The Empress yeah there's tons. But me describing my relationship as one of the relationships above would mean that my relationship has already been done by somebody else. Well I could try and use those relationships as an example but why use characters in a game when you can use a whole game itself to describe a relationship.
Which game would I choose to describe my relationship?
GET READY
YES THAT'S RIGHT
THE GAME EVERYONE HAS HEARD OF
OH YES IT IS
YEAH EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE THINKING
IT'S
YEAH... that game!
So pretty much everyone knows the concept of minecraft so I don't need to explain it.
So my life before this relationship was me looking for love, I looked for it. Everywhere. I hated the fact that I couldn't find it. I started to hate myself and it ended up with me spiraling into being obsessed with not being lonely and just hating every moment of existence.
How does this relate to minecraft?
Diamonds.
Yeah
Diamonds.
So when you really want to get into different parts of the game you need diamonds, and most of the time when you mine solely looking for diamonds you never find them. Well in my experience anyway (strip mining took so much of my time up).
I would try anything to be in love, I tried apps such as meetme to find love. It only lead to more pain.
I would try anything to find diamonds, I tried methods such as strip mining. it only lead to more coal.
When you stop looking for diamonds though, somehow out of the darkness of the void diamonds appear in front of your face and you're just left there stunned, thinking "HOW!? WHY!?".
That's what I did with love, I accepted I was going to be alone. I stopped thinking about love and I planned my future. That's it.
UNTIL!!!?!?!?!???!?!?!?!?!?!?
I went to college.
Best. decision. ever.
All the signs were there! She was making it so obvious! At that moment when she liked me I needed redstone and couldn't find the diamonds. I thought I liked someone else.
but then...
I saw the diamonds in the darkness of the cave. I started looking through the photos on my phone and I noticed how happy I was with her. How happy she looked when she was with me. I saw something, and I felt something. My chest set itself on fire. I hadn't ever felt that feeling before. The photos on my phone were the spark... the flint and steal that lit the torch to see the diamonds.
We met in the park, she said something negative... I can't really remember what it was and I told her to shut up. She replied with "make me" and guess what I did?
I DIDN'T KISS HER AND I WISH I DID ASDFGHJKL
but I did grab her hand and I did kiss her a bit later on.
I got the diamonds.
But minecraft isn't all about diamonds, it's about creation.
Getting to know my girlfriend is the creation, we create our relationship. We create our conversations. We create US.
Tomorrow it will be a month of being with her, and it's felt like barely a week. We have so much fun.
She loves me.
I love her.
I'm not going to be alone after all.
I LOVE RHIANNON DEVERAUX.
Cheers for reading
