When you fall in love, you expect it to be between two people but nope. With me, love is between a depressed teenage boy and a video game character who he has no chance of ever being with. Ever. 

Yeah, that character makes me happier than any person ever could (even though I cry whenever I see him). He's just really beautiful. Oh right, I'm gay-ish. I have a girlfriend but I mean.. hot anime video game characters, right? 

Anyway, this character is Riku from the Kingdom Hearts games. I was eight when I first watched my older brother play the game. The animation was amazing for the time it had came out (The first game was released in 2002 but my siblings and I received it as a Christmas gift in 2007). It's what really got me into anime and manga and honestly, I'm not ashamed to like either. Something about the art just intrigues me but I often put myself down because I can't draw them how I want to. 

Riku is cool and collected and I actually related to him more than I had anything in my life. Just recently, my friend told me to get in touch with my feelings because I actually told her that the only emotions I felt were anger and a mild happiness (which is the truth). So I told her about Riku and the Kingdom Hearts games actually making me happy. She said that I should start playing it again so that's what I did. It's giving me mixed emotions.. the last time I played it I was three years ago so it was a good idea to continue playing it and the rest of the series. 

I'm on the second game now. I haven't played this one yet because my older brother would always be on it. It's incredible. I hate how so many people don't know the story of Kingdom Hearts and the lore that's with it. It's a shame to not have even read the manga of it. 

But yeah..

I'M IN LOVE WITH A VIDEO GAME CHARACTER (Or two or three..).
