october of 2020, can't remember the exact day it happened

i was on my mom's phone, going around roblox to find a just shapes and beats game to play.

i come across this one game called " be your favourite cube 2". i've played the first one before, so why not try the second one?

there's two players in the only server on that game. finally, people i can play with, i thought.

i join the server, and i suddenly just... freeze. i don't know what the hell i'm supposed to say to these people! i'm not sure if i left the server and rejoined or not.

a few minutes later, they notice someone other than them in the server. they introduce themselves and so do i.

we all talk for a while, but then both of them have to go since they had to sleep. i didn't know about timezones during this year, so i played along and wished them goodnight.

later, at night, they come online again. i was so excited to talk to them! eventually, i have to sleep, so they wish me goodnight like i did to them.

this process goes on for a little. i talk to them during the morning for me, i wait for night to come, and then i talk to them again before i have to sleep.

eventually, i meet nebula. (previously known as ourlittlelove) a new person? cool! it took a while for me to get used to her, but hey, we were still friends in the end.

apparently komala and hazel were admins of the game, so they gave me btools and taught me how to make my own custom cube morph.

we all talk about our interests together, even doing a couple of roleplays here and there. everytime something new rolls around, we talk about it.

friday night funkin was a prime example of that. komala even made a boyfriend cube morph!

we do eventually migrate to other games though, particularly roleplay games. we loved roleplaying. they introduce me to discord, as well as wattpad and scratch.

and... thats all i can really remember. some information may be incorrect.

but honestly? i'm really glad i met them. i don't know how i would be if i didn't join that game. if i didn't join them, i wouldn't be here. i wouldn't know

i'm glad i went back to them during 2023. sure, we might have a few downs every now and then, but they're my friends nonetheless. i'm glad i broke the rule of " don't talk to strangers online ".

i want to say one last thing before i stop writing and publish this book. to them, the ones who changed my life, for the better.

thank you for everything.

p.s - no im not killing myself. don't be concerned for me, this is just a sort of tribute for my friends.
