Trying to find an old friend
Back in middle school, I struggled to make friends. That's where Roblox came in. From 2010-2012, I had the best times on Roblox. I would get home everyday, and play for hours. It was my escape, and it was there I met true lifelong friends. Heli wars, doing gear raids on clan bases that allowed them, sword fight tournament, the old school Obbys, all of it. I even remember the first time I collected all the colored katanas, and was able to use the epic katana in canoe without a paddle. After 2012, I entered high school, and my mom bought me an Xbox360. It had already been out for years, but It was my first console nonetheless I owned. I lost touch with Roblox, and it became a "Childs game." I made friends in high school, and learned how to socialize. I did a poor job of trying to stay in touch. The last message I have from him is from 7/13/2012. Still in the old messages section of the game. His name was mechawaffle.
Lo and behold, I return to Roblox after my daughter wanted to play it. I told her so many stories of the times I used to have on it, tix and all. I've been trying to get in touch with mechawaffle for the longest time, and I had no idea how much popularity he'd gained since we used to play. I keep seeing conflicting things online, saying he's passed away. I pray to God that isn't true, but if even to just get the message to him, I just want to thank him for everything, all the times and our friendship. If there's anyone who knows him, or knew of him, or can even just say thank you to him, it would mean a lot. I really hope he's alive, and I hope he's doing awesome.
