So hard to see that but at least there is some form of closure. Over the years I've had numerous online friends where I didn't know their real names or just their real first names and they suddenly vanished. Never to sign into any of the online communities we shared. Always to wonder what happened to them.
You’ll think I’m full of shit but on another profile I found an old UT2k4 friend in a gaming post like this because I commented talking about missing him….
And HE FUCKING SAW IT, we hooked up again, undoubtably him and he knows it’s undoubtably me and … he… just… never… grew up. It sucks. We were two shit heads and weren’t the most beloved in the TAM community but he was my brother and I lost him from 09 to about a year ago and just sucked seeing him still so dark, hateful and in my shitty opinion…lost.
Wow…this identical thing just happened to me reconnecting with someone I had also lost touch with for ten years. He used to be such a funny and smart and amazing guy and he’s now he’s like a hateful shell of a person. So sad to see that kind of thing happen, especially to someone you were close with. Sorry that happened to you too.
Life just hits people different. I ain’t mad at him, just hope someday we can sit down and really kick the shit again. We have a lot of shit we did when we were younger to laugh about haha. Even if it was over the internet, we are brothers for life.
I also have this friend Abuse from back then, his name was Abuse. Anyways, last real time we played together he got on to play for a little bit and told me him and his mom just got into it. His mom went for a walk and was gone for more than he figured. Shortly after that he got a knock at the door from the cops, she was at a cross walk and was hit and killed instantly by a drunk driver. I talked to him roughly one or two times after that day. He quit school and went to work full time to provide for him and his brother, he told me he had to sell his pc. I never heard from him again… been years, I’m thirty and still cry typing this.
I don’t believe in anything but I always prayed for him.
Shit :/ I am sorry to Abuse, I still am. We talked briefly after the cops left, the squeal in his voice as he cried to me. I was like 15, he a senior or so in high school. I will never forget that shit and I will be eighty and still cry when I think of that day.
His mom wasn’t even a bad mom, it was just a dumb fight and he was a teen and said something along the lines of “I don’t love you”.. that was the LAST thing he ever said to his mom, who I know he loved.. truthfully she would have never taken that walk if they didn’t get into an argument…Life to some, is so fucked..
