Bob had a rough 30 years. Not going too much into detail but all his life Bob got rejected. When he was in school he decided to follow his passion of becoming an astronaut one day and not lawyer as his parents asked too. Grades got worse as he didn't care about the system and people didn't like he is not fitting into society. Bob his soon to be wife in the last year of high school. She seemed to like that he is different.

When Bob succeeded school with the minimum requirements he applied for university and got rejected for years cause he was not following the trend like all other applicants did. When he somehow managed to get in, he always felt alone. Somehow he made it through.

He bought his astrosuite and worked hard while society thought it is not smart to not play what society sees as normal. His wife left him because he didn't follow the regular career path of being a rich lawyer but following his passion, which obviously wouldn't pay that good. She also didn't like his behaviour, for example of his movements when he tapped into cold water, or his love for pinkish flamingos. Let me tell you, everyone of us is a bit of Bob and can move and act however they like as long as you don't hurt anyone. If you are a man who loves flamingos, you are perfect as you are.

Bob got sick. Depression, alcohol and followed by thyroid overfunction. He got super skinny, then wrong medication, which caused gaining too much weight and got even more sick.

somehow, after years and years of struggling, he found new friends, real friends, who appreciate him for whatever he is or doing. At some point he also got noticed by clients, like NASA, to work together.

At that time old "friends" tried to catch up with him. It made him sad to see all the bad and evil in the world. He denied them entering his life again.

Although he is still a bit chubby, he is healed and about to feel happyness for the first time in his life. Maybe he will finally enter the space shuttle.
