I'm mostly posting for my own hubris but coming back onto osu 5 years after I gave up on ranking and quit the game has been such a nostalgia trip. For some context I found the game in February of 2014 and quickly fell in love with it. I'd say I was minorly addicted honestly and soon my osu friends replaced my real life and xbox friends. I was working part time and still 20 years old so I was able to play quite a bit.
I quickly went from not playing to 6k plays a month and it was honestly one of the best times of my life. I made tons of friends and would stay up for hours on end playing and talking with them. I had a group of friends that would stay up for 24-36 hours together in skype from all around the world just having a great time. As all good times do they came to an end over petty drama over time and my group of 12 friends slowly shrank down to 8, then 6, then just 3 and things became complicated due to a romantic nature with one of my friends until it was just me and her and we migrated away from osu.
Things in my life have not gone well overall, I'm 27 now and unable to enjoy anything anymore, I long for those nights being up until 3 or 4 in the morning with friends all over the world laughing until I cry and it tears me apart knowing the good old days are truly behind me. If you are younger and play this game just enjoy iy, enjoy your friends, and enjoy the game even if it can be frustrating at times.
