Mine is to meet my best friend face-to-face for the first time.
He's 22, 771 miles away from me, and one of the most important
people in my life. We met four years ago online on an RP forum. I
had a major falling out with my best childhood friend and it caused
me to become depressed and I lost my trust in everyone. One day, he
and I were two of the only users online, so I PMed him to ask to
RP. He agreed, and at first, we were shy of one another, but we
quickly discovered that we had a lot in common. In no time at all,
we were friends and growing closer. We talked on the phone every
night, and he managed to help me. Several times, he was there
during my darkest moments, all in all, he saved my life. We are
virtually inseparable and have been planning for the past two years
to meet in real-life. He got a laptop for Christmas with Skype,
which we've been talking about since June. That boy is not just my
friend. To Homestucks, he's my Moirail. To non-homestucks, he's my
brother who affects me like no one else. I asked him to summarize
our bond one day. He said "I can cheer you up and calm you down
when no one else can, and you believe in me when nobody else does,
including myself." He soothes my rage and I give him hope. I'm
still patiently waiting on that Skype call, and the next step after
that: being able to wrap my arms around him and thanking him for
always being there.
