My Destiny experience came a little different than most. D1 came out while I was in the United States Marine Corps. I didn’t even know what destiny was. Fast forward to 2015, I got out of the Marine Corps and immediately got a job at AT&T. I was in the middle of transitioning to the civilian world and one of my first friends I made was this guy at work. Some of you know him as Beard_Grizzly, a great youtuber who really gets into the lore of Destiny. Anyways he got me to play some D1 but I couldn’t get into it that much because of how busy life was coming into the civilian world and just got a new girlfriend (my wife now). In 2017 my best friend who I met in my apartment complex took his life. August 23rd the day after my birthday. Long story short, when I met him, we learned we were both on the same deployment at the same time. We slept maybe a couple hundred yards from each other in Afghanistan. Learning that finally gave me someone who understood me completely. When we found him in his apartment, I was lost. I had no idea what to do or who to talk to. Back when I was a kid I played video games every day for hours on end. I saw D2 was released and thought it would be a good distraction. A few weeks into it, I didn’t make many friends until I did an LFG. I found a great guy who was in the Air Force. We bonded, joined his clan and met other service members. I finally found a place where I fit in. This game started as a distraction but ended up being my saving grace. I struggled with suicidal thoughts and depression after losing my best friend but because of the people and the addictiveness of Destiny, I found a home. I finally fit in. Now I still play almost every day, doing challenging content such as raids and competitive. I tried streaming but it didn’t work out the way I wanted it too. Who knows maybe ill try youtube out one day. Anyways sorry for the long entry but I just want people to hear that this game has a place for everyone, whether you’re a Veteran or a kid in high school. If you’re struggling in any way with mental health, seek help. Everyone needs help in different way. For me, this game saved my life.
