    Trolling a girl’s post one lonely evening, leading to getting married to said girl, in a different country, with a different language. All for the better.

        Haha I wish I did screenshot it. Unfortunately it was on an app that didn’t really last long (9chat an offshoot of 9gag, if anyone remembers)

        I remember it in my head, and that’s fine enough. Besides we made much better memories since.

    I responded to a flyer on my college campus looking for new players for an upcoming D&D game. 5 years later I got married to the girl who posted that flyer. We’re still playing with some of those same players today.

      I used Roll20 matchmaking, guy in that group invited me to another game with their friend.

      Been together 4 years and engaged, moved across country, also I isolated myself before so my entire friend group now is from my fiancee.

      Original guy ghosted us all in a heartless way, but he’ll forever be the one who introduced me to my new life.

    Dating a depressed/suicidal girl for almost 4 years through middle school. To this day she’s still the funniest and smartest person I’ve ever met, but boy did she put me through hell back then.

    But I came out of it with an unbelievable amount of patience and mental fortitude. I also learned how to avoid feeding into extreme attention seeking behavior while still having a productive conversation.

    1. Chest cut open for a 2nd time for open heart surgery. Currently on blood thinners because of the mechanical valve they placed in me. A damn growth on one heart valve came back around a half decade after the first time I had my chest cut open and pre-teen me thought the valve was the coolest thing for a short while.

    Though, I’m pretty sure this is also the reason my memory sometimes feels off due to how I was under bypass for longer than the surgeons expected during surgery 2.
