Remembrance

It’s been a while since I’ve been on Waypoint but I just wanted to share something with you guys. As of recently I was scrolling through Reddit and came across an image that really got me right in the feels.----> Image

This just doesn’t apply to Halo Reach exclusively, it applies to all the Halo games I’ve played in the past. I have so many good memories of my previous friends playing Halo together. I remember the game nights we had playing custom games together. I remember all the screams we had together. I remember all the corny jokes we shared together. I remember those obnoxious laughs we had together. I remember the stories we all shared together. I remembered all the joy we had together as friends. But most importantly I remembered them. But sadly it seems I lost my friends to time itself. More and more of my friends seemed to disappear over the years but I can’t blame them.

They moved on with their lives rightly fully so. It’s just sad to see their Gamertag offline for so many years but I’ll never remove them from my friends’ list because of their memories. We never really think this is going to be the last time we’ll ever see each other. “All right man I’ve got to Go! Wanna play tomorrow?” “Sure man! Sounds good!” Never plays together ever again These are the famous last words I usually hear from them. My memory of them seems to be fading as the years’ progress but I swore I’ll never forget the times we had together as friends. I just hope they’ll remember the good times we had together…

I’m not crying! You’re crying!

Sadly this is the same for me, but a lot more recent. I just graduated, and most of my friends left for the military. While we do sometimes play with each other, it’s not for long, and it’s not often at all. It also doesn’t help that we’re
just not invested in Halo 5, and Halo Reach is dying.

Most of my Xbox 360 friends have moved on with their lives but I still have a few that I added around 7 to 8 years ago that still play today.
