In a lot of ways, playing "Fortnite" is much like the stages of falling in love.
1. Sometimes, you put up walls to protect yourself from getting hurt
2. And other times, you break them (and other things) down and open yourself up to new experiences
3. We do our best to heal from past heartbreak so we can move on and find someone new
4. And when someone lovely walks into our lives unexpectedly, we can feel as though we've gotten cross-mapped by Cupid's sniper rifle
5. Sometimes, you muster the courage to slide (or glide) into his or her DMs first
6. And other times, your shyness has you beat and you hide as your crush walks by
7. You pray that they don't catch you staring and admiring them from afar
8. Yet if you somehow manage to get their number, you feel like you've found a chest full of treasure
9. You're excited to finally have some romance in your life because drinking alone got too sad
10. But alas, now they are playing hard-to-get!
11. When you've finally got them, you know you'd follow them across the world and back
12. You want everyone you know to be just as excited about your new love as you are
13. Because being with your special someone makes you feel like you've won a serious match of Battle Royale
And if you've done everything right, you've made it to Pleasant Park, and Lonely Lodge is just a distant memory.
