"Thank you Pokémon GO for making this a bearable year for me..."

#PokemonGO: About a year ago I had to move back in with my parents due to COVID after graduating, and since then I’ve been working seven days a week at a minimum wage job trying to save up money to get back out. And truthfully it’s been hard to stay positive when you feel stuck and trapped like I do. Well, Pokémon GO has been one of my biggest sources of solace during this time. I have been playing since launch, and have a ton of good memories from when I first started playing prior to my move. Each time I open the game I get flooded with good memories from back then, and no matter how crappy I feel after dealing with rude customers or working long shifts, the fact that there’s always a Pokémon I can catch after feels good lol. In addition to that, the field research tasks, events and tasks for leveling up consistently give me something to take my mind off of the things giving me stress. I know there’s always someone out there who has it worse so I don’t mean to sound like I’m being ungrateful, but it’s just been a rough time mentally (more than I’ve ever been used to) and I feel lucky to have this app! via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/2PwRRqi
