Who is 8-Bit Mickey? He's the Alpha and the Omega, he's a paradox wrapped in a riddle wrapped in an enigma lost in time. He's everything just as he's nothing. He's like fire and ice and rage. He's like the night and he's fabulous.
At the end of the night my dad said oh wait hold on and disappeared back into his room.
When we came back he explained that he took an old French coin polished it up and turned it into a keychain so I could always carry it with me because as he put it, “it has vital life advice carved into it which I should strive to follow every single day.”
Before he handed it to me he reminded me that we have strong French ancestry and that I should always cherish it and look to the advice carved into it when I’m having trouble deciding how to move forward in life.
He spent a lot of time polishing it and making a very old coin seem brand new. Then he placed it face down into the palm of my hand…
It’s really pretty and I could tell he put a lot of effort into it… then he told me to go ahead and flip it over.
