by my side: gaming while you’re close (Patreon)

i’m at my desk, headset on, playing an online game with some friends. you’re sitting on the couch behind me, doing your own thing, but i can still feel your presence. every so often, i hear you laugh softly at something on your phone or make a little comment about whatever chaos is happening in my game. it’s this quiet, parallel play that feels so comforting, knowing we can each enjoy our own worlds while still being together. everything feels easier, lighter, when you’re around, even in these simple moments. you make life better just by being here with me.
