When I was five years old I began taking karate lessons, I likely started taking these to get out of the house more and make friends. Growing up homeschooled, I didn’t and still don’t have a large amount of acquaintances, or friends as many call them. Thanks partly to my karate lessons; however, I was able to make some excellent friends, the strongest friendship I forged over the years, both in and out of karate lessons was with Kyle. Yes, me and Kyle, almost exactly the same age (he was older by approximately three weeks), would build a fantastic friendship of solid gold, until the pressure of moving away and the both of us changing as we grew older crushed it back into the dust we started with.

Only a day into his visit. I’m unsure if he stopped liking me all together, or was it his parents, or increasingly strange beliefs that pulled us apart? I’m still not sure. Finally, beginning in late 2014, after we reconciled to some extent earlier in the year, he essentially quit gaming all together; he started a part time job and began attending college shortly
