It all started on 6th March, the day when the 18app bonus became available to the teens which were born in 2001, including me, a simple guy from Italy, addicted to videogames and music. You don’t have to tell me that I’m everything but special or unique.
I had five hundred euros to convert into discounts so I could've spent them in culture. Of course I couldn't buy videogames with them, so I bought some comic books, CDs and an amazing Splatoon 2 artbook. A freaking book made of more than 400 pages filled with scratches, unreleased ideas and lists of assets from the game. I just love that kind of stuff, I wish I could own more of these books of my favourite franchises.
I was so proud of my "purchase" that I posted on Instagram a story showing it off. You know, "flexin' it".
This girl, which for obvious reasons I'm not gonna reveal her name, username, and many other personal details, replied saying that it was pretty damn cool. She asked where to buy it, so I sent her the Amazon link and told her the price. Then I sent a “👍” and... that was the end of the conversation.
After that, well... I started following her. She had some really sweet "aesthetic" edits of herself, which even if they were blatantly made on PicsArt they were really pleasant to see. So I even left a couple of likes there and there.
