Fun fact about me:

My childhood nickname was Space Cowboy.

It was because I wore cowboy boots, swimming goggles, & a red cape AT ALL TIMES.
When I outgrew the boots I would cry because they hurt my feet but I refused to take them off still. My parents got me some Toy Story boots & I wouldn't wear them because "they weren't the same boots". Apparently I only liked the real deal cowboy boots 😂 so my uncle went & paid a few hundred for a new pair for me. Then I continued being Space Cowboy 😎

The family likes to remind me sometimes still even now as an adult 😂

@iamonfire696 idk what was wrong with me 😂 I know the cowboy boots came from my grandma though. She used to wear some & I thought they were the coolest so she bought me my first pair 😌

@ChiefJustWalks You we’re a little kid. That’s what they do. How old were you?

@iamonfire696 I'm not sure what age that started exactly 😅 but it was before my mom left & we lived at my grandmas. We first moved to the city when I was a baby & we couldn't afford a place to live yet so we stayed with her for a few years. Those were my first memories

@ChiefJustWalks I am glad you have memories like that from your childhood. I know it wasn’t all great.

@iamonfire696 yeah things were kind normal before mom left. Only negative thing I remember was them fighting all the time & it getting worse over time. I just ignored it.
But I have good memories too like all of us drinking hot chocolate together in front of the fireplace when my dad bought our first house. We had no furniture yet so we slept on blankets by the fireplace that first night.

I still have a burn on my wrist from that fireplace 😂 it had a glass blocking the fire & I tested to see if it was hot... It was lol

@ChiefJustWalks I am glad you have some normal memories. I have some too, and a lot of bad ones.
