I woke up today prepared to fight... for love ♥️

When I first saw @deekaymotion's 'Destiny', I found it cute.

I loved the way the girl grabbed the boy's hand after getting the flower, and pulled him into the door.

But then I saw the delightful animated struggle of the boy and girl finding each other.

The bumps and bruises, the trials and tribulations...

Created by the master hand of Deekay, who has spent a lifetime perfecting his craft...

It was then I began to have a powerful realization...

Contained in this one little work, is an eternal love story.

A tale of the struggles and delight we all face in our search for love. A tale as old as time.

And it was then I also realized...

Nothing had ever been created like it in NFT - ever before.

I decided right then and there, that I was going to fight for it.

Now while a master of the arts, and more specifically, animated art...

@deekaymotion is not as widely known in NFT as some others...

Though he does have a collab w @punk4156, and noted holders such as @krybharat (and now, @0x_b1, @LoneRanger5148k, and many more!)...

His previous high for a piece was 37e. However, 'Destiny' had picked up quite the buzz this week.

I spoke with frens @Anonymoux2311 and @bonafidehan, who both said the same:

Deekay Motion could turn out to be the definitive animated artist of the NFT era.

This was likely his masterpiece.

And it was going to be a war.

Last night, I could not sleep a wink.

I knew the work would go to auction this morning.

I spent the later hours of the evening loading up my ETH.

And awoke this morning, prepared to fight.

8:45am. 15 minutes remain on the timer. The REAL auction begins!

And who do I notice enter the arena?

My old fren @KeyboardMonkey3... a man of exquisite taste.

So it was no surprise.

But then, over the top, an anon bidder!

It turned out to be @ZeroSalt420. A gentleman of fine taste himself.

Onward we battled, 35e, then 55e, then 80!

100e!

Deekay and I are DMing, he is quite surprised :)

Then... 160e!

Deekay is going into shock :)

Finally the hammer falls at 225e.

Destiny would be mine.

::Epilogue::

Funny enough, I got in a little tift with Mrs Medici today.

Nothing major, but one of those things that happens in all loving relationships, between two strong souls.

And one of those things that made me look at 'Destiny' again, a little more deeply.

I was reminded of it's message, of true love, and the bumps and bruises it takes to find it, and keep it!

And I was reminded, that it is all worth it :)

So on that note, the piece is already working magic in my life.

On that note, I want to invite everyone and anyone out there to enjoy 'Destiny'.

Send it to your lover, send it to a fren. Send it to anyone of whom needs a little brightening of their day.

Heck, send it to your wife, to give her an intro to the whimsical world of NFTs!

In the future, 'Destiny' will be displayed IRL across major cities, in the Snoop Medici Gallery in Sandbox, & metaverses we have yet to even dream of.

A timeless work, with a timeless theme.

For me to grab it today, from the skilled hands of @deekaymotion, I believe, was destiny in itself.

I raise my glass to you all.
