You know, a lot has happened over the past couple months, but now that things have finally started to settle down, I can safely say that I'll be getting married sometime this year, and we never would have met if it hadn't been for a shared interest in Yugioh. Lmao
So I never did elaborate on this because I kept forgetting, but essentially: I met the love of my life on tumblr because of this rat I took in while it was dying, and named it Kiryu because I'd recently finished watching 5Ds and it felt fitting lol. We met via that post and ended up becoming Discord friends, and the rest is ancient history, but it can alllllll be traced back to middle school, where I had a friend who introduced me to Yugioh Abridged. I'd already liked the show as a kid, so I watched it and thought it was funny.
Fast forward a decade or so, and because I remembered watching that as a kid, I decided I wanted to revisit it with my girlfriend at the time, which ended up in us wanting to watch the actual show. I watched every show from Duel Monsters to Vrains with her, but of course that relationship fell through. I already knew the guy that would become the love of my life at that time, but it wouldn't happen for another couple of years.
Now, I'm 28. I'll be 29 this year, and I've gone from long distance dating my boyfriend to living with my fiance, and the fact that if things had happened any differently, if I'd never watched this children's cartoon about card games, if I'd never taken in a dying rat, if I'd never posted about it on my Yugioh blog, I could have missed out on the best and most fulfilling relationship I've ever been in... It's a little funny to think about.
Things work out the way they do for a reason. Every action and shitty ex I've taken/dated led to me being happy with someone I'm going to spend the rest of my life with. No matter what happens in the future, we'll have each other, and that is something that nothing on this earth can take away.
