LovePlus

My experience playing LovePlus, was like living life in a time that never existed. But the memories from it remain so present. I think back to that summer of 2019, definetly a low point for me, after barely passing my classes, I had become a hermit somewhat. That year was when I went all in on watching anime, reading manga, and playing video games. 2019 was definetly the growing pains of maturity.

To me love was just another event in life. I never dated or ever acted on my feelings for another person, but in the medium of video games I could do it without anyone else knowing, and without getting any repurcussions.

I think I knew playing LovePlus that no people like the ones in the game existed, and would never really exist. I think that summer I spent in the game felt like another lifetime. I remeber waiting for their emails with cute messages. I remember the idle moments on virtual dates spent with them. These are all never probably happening in real life.
