What Magic: The Gathering means to me

chandra-nalaar:

I was the girl that no one wanted to hang out with because I was to busy reading fantasy novels and making strange little crafts. Magic changed that. People wanted to talk to me, ME, and teach me how to play! I went from being the girl with her eccentricities being a bad thing to that being the very basis of what made me good.

And I met people. People who shared my interests, whom I could talk to on a deeper level than just “How’s the weather?” conversations. And I met someone. Not only did I make friends that I look forward to seeing every week, but I found the person who completes me and makes me happy. It’s an amazing thing to be able to sit and bullshit with the one you love and play cards for hours and just not care.

Thank you WotC for giving me something that I can be me at. From DnD to MtG I’ve found my niche and love how I’ve been able to make it my own. Maybe one day I could even help make niches for others just like myself. Thank you for saving me.
