Hey, listen. I know you want to tell me how you had a hard life and all that. I know. Been there and done that.
Now you want to tell me all about your parents who did not hug you; they did not read bedtime stories to you. I know, me neither.
And? So what? Do you think you are the only one? Join the F Club, Bro!
But let me ask you this: How old are you? We need to be adults. You and I. Feel me? It is on you and me to be better.
Better what, you might ask me.
Better friends, for example. I sure am sick and tired of shitty friends. So be the first real and beautiful one.
Better children to our parents. Yes, they did not treat you right; I know they did it all wrong. And? What now? You can be an asshole; that makes no difference to me. Or, you could be the bigger person and do more for your parents. Are you that arrogant to think you have them forever? Let me tell you; you can lose them tomorrow. Wake up and be the bigger person. Be the adult you wanted to see in a crowd. Be a leader. You know you can do it, but do you want to?
Better teachers. What are we teaching the ones that come after us? That is ok to run? To stay small? Not from a man’s or woman’s perspective. Because I am sick and tired of that sexist thing. What are we teaching them? Are we better teachers than the ones we had?
Do you know that now is our chance to be better parents? Are you better than yours? Are you a better father or mother to your child than the ones you had? What is your plan, parenting plan, to raise that child? The sky is the limit. You can give your child more love than you ever got. I took my eight-year-old daughter to a picnic. That was fun. You should try it. It might be something for you.
You can do whatever you want right now. You can be the human you want to be.
Are you willing to put in the work for it? What? Do you think that is going to fall out of the sky? Did you just get on this planet? If you put in the work, you’ll get it!
Nihil sine Deo!
Nothing without God. Period.
Do you really want something without Him? Are you insane? So you want to tell me that you wish to forfeit your right to pray to the creator of the universe? Do you understand what you have access to?
Pray to Him! Thank Him! Be grateful to Him!
He is who He is. And there never was and never will be another!
Whit love, yours truly, Cristian.
