Reflecting on the fact that my best friend and I met at a Pokémon Go raid years ago and really only talked because neither of us came with any friends.

Like we both got invited to one of those exclusive mewtwo raids back when those were a thing, but it was on an island that was blocked off for a music festival going on, and a lot of the other players went into the river to try to get close enough to do it
And so I, very out of character for me, approached him since he was similar age and also alone and we just talked about how neither of us are gonna go into the river and risk our phones or something like that, and then we parted ways and I kept playing around the downtown area
And about after an hour of playing I ran into him again in a park, and we decided to hang out and play together for the rest of the day we were out, and then we added each other on social media and yeah that’s how I met my best friend and yeah it just still feels surreal to me
That I was able to approach a complete stranger and talk with them and make friends with them despite the anxiety. I dunno I kinda just wanted to get this all out lmao sorry for rambling
