The Dad post...
Pretty much everyone up here knows I'm gonna be a dad in Nov. I haven't posted anything about it here yet.
I'm gonna be a dad.
We are gonna be a family. I'm taking it all in stride. I've always wanted kids and even those this is a bit sooner than we had expected, our arms and hearts are wide open.
I look back on my youth and see how the future was always so open ended. Then as I got older and the choices I made grew more complex, I see where new roads that were once unacessable are now open. Like wise, there are roads that are closed that I will prolly never go down. The number of good and bad are pretty much the same.
I never went to college and I know I never will. That was a choice I made early on. I could have had I tried to do so after high school, 8 years ago. wow... 8 years.
The older I get though, the less open ended the future is. At this point at my age, the future is still very open ended, just not as much. And that is perfectly ok with me. I'm really happy how things are right now, as in the future still looks very good.
I'll keep traveling down the road, and as I get older there will start to be fewer and fewer options until finally I am where I will be and I will be who I have become. No going back and undoing the things that have been done.
This path is good.
