I always amazed at how Ive developed. 5 years ago I was just as sweet as I am now, I was striving to be a good person like now but idk, I just get more "me" with each passing year. And "me" is a fundamentally decent, sweet & genuinely good human. I give less of a crap about others opinions - Im just fine so keep your "concerns" or your "advice" to yourself unless I ask - that kind of thing.

But not you tiger! I ALWAYS want to hear your concerns or advice. I just meant like even the people who love me, Ive learnt that they ultimately have hell & ice water issues & half the time they aren't self aware enough to even realise it. They want me to be the same person I was years ago & its incredibly unhealthy in the long run. I dont love them any less, its sweet that they care, but they dont know whats best for me. (sorry for the long-ass answer!)

There's been so much more stress in my life. Not because of my wife but mean hurtful shit from my ex, my family and my friends. I also think I have learned how to open my mouth when it's needed. Steph may disagree.. I'm still not perfect but I'm trying

I think I have grown up and finally turned into a man bc any guy can be a father but it takes a kind, loving, patient, and driven man to be a dad

Being better organized, believing in myself and the work that I can do. I owe that all to my beautiful wife.

I have grown up more, found who I am, found my partner and learned a lot
Male or Female, 26-30 years, Dating • • Comment

A lot. Religion, appearance, friends, goals in life. But I still want to be a therapist, and to save the world. That will never change.
