Childhood, very briefly summarized.I was always a visionary, some might even say a dreamer, but what else could I do?
My childhood was not pleasant at all, as an orphan I was passed around like a rotten piece of meat. Sometimes when a family "checked me out", they would look at me as if I were a Thargoid, although I didn't look any different than all the other children, maybe it was just the unkempt appearance.
I was busy most of the time working or being allowed to play slave for the adults so they could have fun, no matter who I ended up with. That was also what humbled me the most and is remembered strongly, but I'm glad, that all of it just feels like the dull past now.
Until I found a family at the age of 10, that was my everyday life. But a new family came accross luckily, the new life with them was like a different world, it felt that I was finally really wanted by someone, also by being pulled out ot the muddy hole I lived in. My new parents couldn't restore the lost childhood, they tried as good as they could. At least I got a chance at adult life. Unfortunately, many of my friends never managed to get out of this slum or get to know life as a grown up.
This shithole still exists and I can't do anything about it, even the federation knows it and is taking it upon itself. A gross eyesore that shouldn't exist in our society.
Because of my parents, I found my calling in the stars and exploring our universe. Also they made sure that I could catch up on my schooling deficit, I couldn't even read or write in the beginning. Fortunately I had the chance to go to the academy and I got my licenses in record time because I didn't want to be with these snobs any longer, I just wanted to go to space.
Before that, however, I spent four years in the military as a Sergeant in an infantry squadron and fought a few wars that I no longer see the point of. To this day I don't know why I joined them, the suffering that war brings cannot be repaired, especially if you loose friends over nothing. These flashbacks are the most hard to overcome, that's why I deeply regret my decision.
All of these experiences have shaped me, made me stronger and more enduring than I ever thought possible. War is out of the question for me, except against Thargoids maybe. I don't ever want to have to shoot a human again, in this harsh world, I can only wish for it, but it will surely happen again.
Now, I'm more into exploring the galaxy as ever before. I want to see stuff, head out and come back years later, being alone in the dark black is my new heaven, I love it and I want more of it. Forget all the shit that happend, fucking live a life!
