My favorite memory of kingdom hearts was back in the year 2005 when I was in the fifth grade. My best friend at the time who is still my best friend today introduced me to kingdom hearts and said that I resembled Kairi and that she was Sora. We would watch clips of the game during class on the computer and I fell in love with the opening cut scenes of kingdom hearts one. I remember being so entranced with what I was watching and I absolutely adored Destiny Islands and the friendship that that Sora, Riku and Kairi shared.
Eventually everyone in our class wanted to be a character from the game. We would role-play as the characters during recess and even during class we would write our character names on our assigned papers. Our teacher didn’t really care. She probably thought we were just very imaginative kids haha.
Still to this day we still call each other by our kingdom hearts nicknames and have a strong passion for the franchise.
