Yep... He's gone to a better place now... Sometime while I was out with my Aunt yesterday, Fishy (I named him when I was 5 and never changed it.) passed on in his sleep. I didn't know till I got home and got ready for bed. He was upside down, but he was sometimes upside down when I came into the room just to mess with me (he was the coolest goldfish.) I helped my mom with what I could to clean up his tank, but fish always get the crappiest funerals. And by that I mean the toilet, but not Fishy. He's buried in my backyard now. For a carnival prize I got when I was 5, he grew to be at LEAST two fish sticks in size. My dad always told that joke. If anything good came from that, I won't have to hear that cringey joke anymore. I know it feels like such a big deal for a fish, but I had that fish longer than I've had most of my friends. He always watched me in my sleep, making sure I was okay (which could be because he didn't have eyelids, but nonetheless, I knew what he was trying to do. It was creepy sometimes though, heh.). That fish got me through some of the lowest points in my life. Back in 7th grade, I had thoughts of, well, taking my life, but with the help of my friends, family, and venting my troubles to Fishy (world's greatest listener, btw), I'm still here today. I'm literally wearing nice clothes for once in my life to honor him. I sang a cover of A Mad World Without You (the end credit's song of Mario's Madness) to honor him at our little rushed funeral. Barely made it through that without crying. Everything's delayed as of right now, but I'll still try to finish Multiversal Madhouse today. Coding helps me keep my mind happy. And yes, last night, I looked that bad. I didn't sleep last night at all. For the first time in a while, I actually prayed, and I consider myself atheist... I disclosed a lot of information about myself here, but Fishy meant a lot to me, and I'm gonna be a lot more open now. I'm also gonna be spending a lot more time with my older dog, Bowzer. He's got at least 3 more years in him, but I'm gonna cherish them. Zelda's gonna be a pain in my butt for a long time yet, lol... Rest in Peace, Fishy. 2014 - 2026 Beloved Pet Brother Figure Family. He will forever live on through me. Ya'll can remix and add yourself to show support, it'd mean a lot. And yes, I take virtual hugs, so u can remix and do that. Any comfort helps. I'll be active a lot today, so I'll try and talk to u guys as much as I can. Rest in Peace, to the G.O.A.T., who's a fish, Fishy. ,:)
