Self-Made Man. Content Warning.
When you grow into adulthood without the role of a father figure, one often discovers there are lessons that need teaching; things like how to patch up a hole in the plaster wall before moving out of a rented space, things like which IPA to order at a bar. Things like how to shave, how to win a fight, or how to engage in small talk with men who transiently appear in your life about the football game last night. How to feel strong, how to be strong, how to pretend that you’re strong when you’re not, how to not be strong at all — lessons that would do well to be imparted by a father figure.

Celebrating Fatherhood. Content Warning.
Once upon a time, in a small town nestled amidst rolling green hills, there lived a man named David. He was a simple man with a heart full of love and a smile that could light up the darkest of rooms. David was a father, and his greatest joy in life was his children. Little did he know that his journey of fatherhood would become an inspiration to those around him, an embodiment of the unsung heroes who walk among us.

My Father
When I was a young girl, I always looked up my father. I used to spend almost all of my time with him, watching him work on cars, eating his food - not mine, I would barely touch mine - and watching him play Tomb Raider or Sonic. I always thought that he was the coolest guy I'd ever known.

Renting movies for your daughter
It took me all of my teen years and my early twenties to finally realize who I was—a self realized adult who is bisexual. I only had crushes on boys in elementary school, one of whom I’m with today(going on ten years plus now!), and I didn’t have crushes on any girls until the beginning of high school.
