I'm A Fun Dad, But I Don't

Even The Most Self-confident People, At One Point Of Their Lives, Felt Like Outsiders Or Felt Like They Weren't Being Heard Or Seen Or Witnessed In Some Way.

For The Better Part Of My Adult Life, I Proudly Avoided Nerd/nimrod/goober Status. I Was Always Just Cool Enough.

Everyone Said To Vincent Van Gogh, "you Can't Be A Great Painter, You Only Have One Ear." And You Know What He Said? "i Can't Hear You".

I Have No Idea Where My Pathetic Nature Comes From. If I Thought About It Too Long, It Would Depress Me.

For Me, At Least, All Of My Career Goals, All Of My Focus, Everything Just Shifted And The Importance Was My Children, And That's Where All The Joy Came From As Well.
