Prompt Soup #0.9

What’s the story behind your nickname?

I guess we get nicknames through our growing up. I don’t know about you, but thinking of nicknames now, I had a few but all during my time of being a kid and playing sports. Names like Mattman, Chewy, or Matty are more the ones I care to remember given that they came from family and loved ones. But then on the other side I’ve got names like fathead, Bt, Bergals***, F*****, and those of course are ones I care not to really remember but that’s life I guess I don’t know what I am proud of is that I have my name and I love my name and who I am with that name that I carry proudly and that is Matthew Ryan whether I use my official last name or my writing last name is my choice but I do love the name I have,

Luckily mattman was a nickname when I was really little from an uncle and he would like sing the Batman theme song but just with Mattman instead, big head another kid nickname for just having a big dome and a lot of hair. But Chewy is my favorite and we’ll probably stay a favorite memory as it’s tied to when I love to play baseball and truly just loved the game for playing the game. I used to be a catcher and I was a catcher for eight years and pretty good at it and yeah acquired the name from all the other teams and it was Chewy because I was big haired and kind of crazy looking was dyed red purples whites and what have you.

But that’s life we grow up some people never get bullied others do it’s whether you let it affect you or you rise above and f*** it all you know what I mean who am I to let all that s*** affect me especially now like I am who I am and I love who I am yeah and I think that’s it.

C’est La Vie

    Someone called me ugly one time in high school and I responded, “So what.” The guy was so surprised that he wasn’t sure how to react. The best way to deal with bullies is to give an unexpected response.
