i feel as though my dad always makes me feel sad, but never for something he says to me, or because he does something to hurt me directly. i just get sad thinking about what his life is like and what it could’ve been. i get sad thinking about how maybe if he had a better education, he could be doing something successful that also makes him happy. i get sad that he has celiac disease but he used to loveeeee eating those hawaiian rolls. and also i get sad that i don’t know when he‘s feeling sad.

🚹This has strengthened our relationship so much and his lore is always insane. Dads always be doing the most random shit, but no one ever asks them about it. Since i've been asking my dad more about his day to day he gets so excited to tell me about all of the random things he's trying and learning. It's precious.

⭐my dad usually embarrasses me by trying to tell the waitress jokes and he’ll spend the entire time complaining about the food. (“this coffee tastes like ass” or “what are these? pigeon eggs??”) BUT it‘ll make him happy and my dad often has very good gossip. Overall it’s a formative experience.

🧡about to make guacamole with my dad.
we visited his dad today.
instead of learning how to make chip dips, his dad taught him how to throw a ball.
it was weird; hearing my dad tell the lady at the counter, “i’m looking for my dad’s room.”
sometimes i forget he was a kid once, too.
my grandfather ended the visit by holding my dad’s hand and saying, “you wouldn’t believe how much i love you!”
both of them were trying to be strong, but i saw their eyes gloss over.
i made the guac, by the way. my dad was very patient with me & my questions about avocados. i think its because he misses when his dad could be patient with him. instead he’s a patient at the hospital who can very well believe how much he loves his son.
i don’t know. just food for thought.

as someone who has never been able to decide on or choose a specific way to dress it feels soooo rewarding to learn how to make the piece of clothing you want instead of trying to find the perfect thing to buy
