I'm saying. Having a kid sounds completely miserable for everybody involved.
Yes and No..
Many of us have grown up in households..
Where we didn’t witness healthy conflict resolution skills..
Affection..
Nurturing..
Between both parents..
So both men and women get outchea with baggage..
Thinking jumping into a relationship is going to fix the holes in our spirits..
Then we bring a child into the world..
Using those same toxic tools our parents were passed down..
From their parents..
Continuing the same perpetual circle..
So I can understand your comment..
But on the back end of this(speaking with a forked tongue)..
Having a child really does change you..
Especially as a man..
The things you used to think mattered..
The things you used to expend so much energy on..
Having my daughter gave me clarity and purpose..
It taught me patience and humility..
I never truly gave a fukk about life..
But that first moment I held her

Seeing her walk

First words

And now seeing her formulate ideas..

Being inquisitive..

Having full fledge conversations

Laughing and telling me corny jokes

I hate how things ended between her mother and I..
But I don’t regret having her or even being married to her mom..
Only been in three REAL relationships..
Everything else was just fukking on something..
Used to truly hate people(still do

)..
But having this little person saved my life

It gave me a reason to get help and to start letting go some of these demons..
Of not only my father but just the stupid things I did in my past..
I know that sounds like holistic, mumbo jumbo bullshyt..
But it definitely changed me..
Being a parent is not easy..
And if you don’t want kids..
PLEASE DONT HAVE THEM



..
But speaking for only me..
I thank Black Jesus everyday for my little one
