Just not the same. (Vent)
I'll be honest, Brawl Stars isn't as much fun for me as it was a few years ago. Now that a lot of my best friends I met through the game aren't online as much anymore, I really miss them. I have a lot of friends on Brawl but some of my closest friends are Joker (Wilfredo), Eboymaster1, BoringBoi, TheRealLogosTTV, Deadlocs, No and MadGhost. Wilfredo and Eboy and I have been close online friends for over 3 years now. Even though there was a point back in 2020 where Wilfredo and I stopped being friends for a bit because he was apparently jealous of Eboy and BoringBoi (Both of whom he had already met) and he started badmouthing them and me. And was just being a jerk in other ways as well. (Friends being jealous of your other friends sucks. It's happened to me twice so far, both in 2020.) Thankfully, he's well past that and we're still friends. I mean, this was years ago. And while we do still text each other, send memes and play Brawl Stars and Among Us once in a while, I miss the early days of our friendship when we used to team up almost every day when we had the time. With Eboy, I don't really hear from him much, usually just once or twice a year. It kinda sucks because he's another good friend of mine and Brawl Stars has been our only way to keep in touch this whole time. With Deadlocs, it's the same thing. BoringBoi, I still hear from him now and then. We haven't caught up in a while and we used to team up quite often but nowadays, not so much. Logos was the old president of my Club. When the new Club changes were applied in an update from last year, he got kicked out because he hadn't logged in in a long time. Then it automatically made me the new president. Anyways, back in January, we started chatting over on Discord but we haven't talked there ina while either. No and I used to team up pretty often but it's been a long time since I've heard from her. And with MadGhost, he's in my Club and he recently ended up quitting for an undetermined amount of time because of several reasons but I feel like it was my fault, even though I know it wasn't. I just really miss the days when my friends and I would play Brawl Stars for more than just a few minutes and we would actually be able to catch up and just enjoy being in a team together. And especially considering that these people have really good friends of mine for years now, it makes me miss them that much more. I know with some of them, I could reach out to them and see if they want to join my team again but I also don't want to bother them and I never know when would be a good time because they could be busy with school or work or whatever. I still remember when I used to overly worry about Wilfredo and Eboy when I wouldn't from them in a long time and worry if they didn't want to be friends with me anymore. I wish 14/15/16-year-old me didn't worry that much. I worried about a lot of things back then. Heck, I still do. I have a lot of other friends I worry about almost on a daily basis. I wish I could go back to 2019. That was when I first started playing Brawl Stars. That was when I met a lot of my best online friends. I miss them now. It's nice that I still keep in touch with them on occasion but still, I miss the days when we'd catch up more often.
