Becoming a dad

I was hoping never to be writing a headline like this one!

– Why Pedro? Didn’t you ever want to become a dad?

Quite the opposite! I wanted to become a dad before I even have had sex and more or less was a kid myself.

But to have to write about it??
Let me at least save you the emotional b…utter!

A girl I knew once said to me:
– Pedro, I hope never to give birth in this dark and cruel world!
– But why Maria? Can you not see, it is the opposite? How this dark and cruel world needs a bright soul like yours to raise beautiful children and give balance. ❤️

Question:
Do you want to have a kid or do you want to be a dad/mom??
Same same but still not quite the same, would you agree?

To me, as a self-proclaimed philosopher, it was always about becoming a father, to be a mentor passing on knowledge, experience, and wisdom.
Above all, to inspire and to really give that head start in life on the path to becoming an awesome little person. To be that light in this dark and cruel world.

The pressure is on?! 😅

But I must say, these days a growing part of me is looking forward to becoming a student. To be able to see life through a new set of eyes rather than to make her see the world through mine.

Because I do not wish to see a mini copy of myself but I sure will be glad to see glims of me in a much bigger her. 💕

This is my side of the story, some of my thoughts about the big puzzle we call life.
What are yours?

Love / Pedro
