In 2007, I was 15 years old and browsing the internet, looking for something to keep me occupied for more than a few minutes. I might have Googled games or something along those lines and the results included a link to a website named GaiaOnline. I saw the cute little avatars and decided to give it a go. I was a massive noob. I didn't understand how people were making so much gold, even though things were incredibly cheap compared to the economy there now. Somewhere along the way, I met a user by the name of MissHudsonHawk and she was the reason I loved Gaia so much. She was super friendly and helpful, even selling me some items for cheap because I was so useless. We quickly became friends, despite the age gap and we've been friends ever since.
There's a lot of stuff in between of course. 8 years is a long time to know someone and we've had a few ups and downs. I can honestly say that I've never had someone who made me laugh so much, boosted my spirits when things got rough and was just always there for me.
I can't imagine not having this glorious being in my life and the fact that I get to meet her soon just blows my mind. Being able to show her my hometown and where I grew up, as well as getting up to plenty of mischief together is going to be one of the highlights of my life so far.
Excited is an understatement. I can not wait to wrap my arms around this woman and give her the hug that makes up for all the times I couldn't do it in person.
