I Have a Nickname

I didn't choose this name randomly, oh no!

I've always loved alliterations and wordplay, creating new names and words that I could use in my writing and daydreaming and the moniker "TinderTwig" is no different.

I used to be really thin and everyone who was mean to me at the time decided to call me twig, so much so that I imagined myself as being just another piece of wood to kindle a fire.
It was empowering to me, thinking that this little twig could produce a great, warm fire that people would love to be around, even those who did not believe in me at the time.

And it just kinda stuck!
I still keep using that nickname from time to time and it's very dear to me :)

Somehow people in my line of work always give each other nicknames. In my department my team calls me Shadow.

@Tindertwig No, I wish I was mysterious. It's because once I came out of a burning building so covered in smoke and soot that my fellow firefighters said I looked like a walking shadow.

@Shadowhunter Oh, that's actually amazing!

@Tindertwig I'm not sure about amazing, it's my job. But I'm lucky that it was something I always wanted to be, and I can now enjoy that.
