Liberation in Reach

Liberation in Reach

Some people used to tell me that I will forever be alone because I was aloof and distant from my peers, and that I will grow up without anyone around me to celebrate things with me. Those words were deeply engraved in my heart how many years, as it if were a curse inflicted upon me. It planted seeds of doubt and worries inside me. I had a hard time interacting with my peers. I don’t feel comfortable talking to anyone and I feel alone most of the time because of this. I really thought I was not capable of forming connections and meaningful relationships with other people. I was afraid and deeply anxious that I developed a difficulty in forming speech and binding words for a clear conversation.

Then came along my close friends who invited me to play Sky two years ago. It was an invitation that I am truly grateful to receive. I remember exploring the realms with my wings that resembled that of a fledgling, only that I wasn’t alone and I had these amazing people who lead me through the turbulent winds, wondrous places, joyous moments, and enchanting scenery that this game has to offer. They helped me navigate through an adventure filled with so much fun and excitement.

I used to think I was fine doing things on my own and I am fine being alone, but this game made me realize that memories are far sweeter when you have people you treasure to share with. The pictures and videos I have captured throughout my travels on this game are not enough to paint how much I cherish the days I spent making friends. With each stretch that my Skykid’s wings had done to reach the clouds, I was able to overcome the fear of my past. I was able to take the initiative to invite my friends and other players I see to join and talk to me. I remember feeling hesitant to join Sky because it requires communicating, but now I can communicate by using various calls and gestures in game—to which I express my gratitude for this alone transcends all barriers of communication. My journey with Sky has been a stellar experience.

Even though my journey is still ongoing, I will close this story with hope and love. I hope anyone who reads this remember that no one in this world is destined to be alone. The sky is vast and welcoming for all the wondrous light that you emit.
