This kind of, fell right into place and I went hard.  Consuming so much information really kept my mind focused.  Improving myself as best I could.  It gave me a bit of a sense of accomplishment when all I could do was wait.   But what really was there for me was the community I found within World of Tanks.  The friends, the incredible support when things were hard.  Even now that I don't play much anymore, I'll never not have it on my drive just to play when I can or when a friend asks me to.  World of Tanks, in a lot of ways, kept me going in difficult times.  If not just for the focus but for the people I love that I met within it.   Thanks WG.
