People always want hear me talk about what it’s like being a young father, and lucky for them I have a story to tell.

People aren’t always going to be nice. That’s just a given, but that doesn’t give you an excuse to be rude back. Some people are going through some really hard times and they are channeling their energy in the wrong way, but that doesn’t give you the right to be rude back.

Push yourself to do things that make you uncomfortable and that scare you because in those moments is when you will grow and change.

Thank you for making me strong. You taught me strength. You taught me how to be independent. You taught me how to stand up for myself and to not take any shit.

I learned and realized that I didn’t have to wait for people’s approval so I could walk. My feet are not theirs; they’re mine to use whenever I want to and wherever I want.
