(English isn't my mother tongue , sorry for weird sentence construction)

Gather up folks , it's Story time !!

Like many of you , I've participated in Moment of Triumph event. And I imagine like many of you, I've ordered my t-shirt , Wich I happen to wear proudly , even at work! I'm a forklift driver in a warehouse , nothing fancy. My boss happen to be a gamer , I explained him that to get the t-shirt , you need to play , unlock triumph to get the promo code. He know it's "uncommon" as you can't simply buy it in a Walmart.

The company where I'm working happen to hire a lot of people with disability. Autism , ADHD , Only one arm , Only one eye ( no mask ) and a lotsss of deaf people. obviously nothing wrong with that , more like the opposite , kinda give hope in humanity!!

Yesterday my boss come at me and tell me that there is an employee in the Production Department with the same t-shirt as me !!

IMPOSSIBLE that I've answered !! And I genuinely thought he was mistaken , come on !! Another Moment of Triumph t-shirt , at the same time ? This isn't some Walmart t-shirt !!! That's it , im parking my lift , I need to confirm !!

As I walk by the employee , I acknowledge that my boss was right , this is a MoT t-shirt !!! I honestly am Blown Away !! But hey ... Hold on , I don't know this employees ,

I'll introduce myself !! I come at him and say Hi ! People around us let me know that he's deaf ! I then wave my hand ! They then let me know he has bad eyesight ! I get closer and try to show him my t-shirt !! When he understands what I'm trying to do and take a closer look he realized we both had the same t-shirt on !!! He's all smile and look really excited about it , saddly we can't really communicate at the moment , so I mainly wave and smile too , I was really hyped to met another Guardian!!

Next morning when I come in , a colleague of mine hand me a piece of paper. The Guardian I've met the day before ( his name is : Dany ) writed down his info for me ! So we can communicate ! I really am surprised but also very pleased ! Communication is key , either in life or even Destiny !

I'm also very impressed , he seems to have a bad eyesight wich can only be a challenge , in my opinion. Still he has the Moment of Triumph t-shirt ?? He gave me his GT... How about we check his KD ? You guys know curiosity ... I'm not saying I was prejudice , it's definitely not my style , especially considering I work daily with people who have disability ... But Yeah , I was sceptical ! I'll admit it but mostly curious !!! So here goes nothing !

Google chrome , destinykd , His GT ...

INSERT MOTHER OF GOD MEME

1.39 !!!!! 5500 Glory points

IM BARELY 0.91 !!!

I'm getting sh*t on daily in comp by freaking Last Word and Revoker !!!

How about raid... ? He's deaf ! It must be freaking impossible ? Here goes nothing !

Google chrome , raid.report , his GT ...

INSERT MOTHER OF GOD MEME ( AGAIN , I KNOW RIGHT! )

1 Calus cleared 4 last wish cleared 9 Scourge cleared and 2 Crown attempt.

I honestly and genuinely am IMPRESSED ! If I ever had doubt , I apologize !

Guardian , I think it's time we take a minute to realize how lucky some of us are and how brave other are !!

I've added him as a friend and I can't wait to play with him and I hope he'll teach me the way to Destiny cuz I hella think I can learn from him !

Props to every guardian with disability ! Please share your stories with us 🤞

TL;DR : Don't judge a book by it's cover. 2nd TL;DR : Thank you Bungie for your amazing game and the community it brought together
