So, Did Life Turn Out Like You Expected?

You go places you never thought you would. You become things you never dreamed.

Others may cut your down, but that doesn’t mean you can’t put yourself back together and grow. I did.

The best way I can describe days like this is that my hair hurts.

It was as if everything we have ever loved, hated, or known was taken away.

Life lessons that served me no good will serve them no good. It’s my duty, as their father, to see that.

It’s the parental curse of eternal-youth vision
