You don't have to apologize for addressing me directly LOL!! I don't bite (anymore). I try and be honest about my life. I love my wife and I love my daughter. I'm a newb parent...I have one two yr old. Are there days when she's crazy and I'm stressed, the wife is stressed and the day is just kinda bad? Sure. Is life more complicated because I'm a parent now and have more than myself to consider on a daily basis? Yep. Do I regret it? Not one bit. I'm a young guy....I'll turn 37 this year and I've been married since 23. Not a single day of regret, but that's because of the woman I married...she's awesome. Is she perfect? C'mon, of course not, but her good outweighs her bad 100 to 1. And now we have a daughter together....the kid is awesome. Me, I love bein a dad, but my faith is what motivates, uplifts and encourages me. I also have my own home and every room is mine also, but every room is also my wife's. I love to share my things with my girls. I love providing for my girls. I'm not ashamed of being a husband and a daddy...the type of man that visits Home Depot on the weekends, mows the grass, watches Yo Gabba Gabba with his daughter and brings coffee to his wife. I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I don't drink, use drugs or any of that nonsense either, but I'm completely happy and fulfilled without "the party". If we find ourselves in a rut on occassion we step back, change things up and refresh ourselves. Again, I am a Christian....I believe and I draw my strength from my faith. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being a single man or woman, but I belief my place in life is to raise a family and serve my God. Some roll their eyes at that notion, but that doesn't alter my life in the slightest.
I don't know if you ever listened to Adam Corolla or not. Dudes got some pretty cool insights. But one thing he said that has always stuck with me is this: If you're single, depressed with your life, unhappy, mid-life crisis, concerned with keeping up with the jones', keeping up with the party life, etc, etc. Then have a family. All your BS crap that has you pre-occupied is over. You are now in charge of raising and supporting human beings! Think about that. That will definitatly clear your mind of all that selfishness and emptiness. I've got 2 nieces 12, 7. And 1 nephew 10. And when I'm with them my mind is instantly cleared. They are so new to life. Everything is magical to them. To them you are this wise all knowing adult human(if only they knew the truth
). And when you speak to them, unlike adults, they listen attentively(unless spongebob is on lol). Anyways MOS, you're an inspiration. You have found what almost all of us seek,
Happiness and Purpose.
