I am in my mid 20s.
Last night when I put my phone down after a conversation with my father, I had a realisation that hit me like a truck.
I’m convinced that a person needs their Father more in adulthood than when they are a kid
No one else supports me or stands by me offering comfort like my father does. Conventionally, I have failed multiple times on societal standards.
It’s just because of my parents backing that I am standing stronger than ever before and now building again.
Papa is someone who puts unconditional faith with utmost love in me.
No matter what happens, no matter whosoever changes around you; there’s one rock who is always there! Like a strong man, making you one.
It is the critical time of adulthood,
losing and winning on daily basis,
when you’re learning about the world, when a father eases the thorns in your path, unconditionally.
