Fatherhood

Before children, responsibility was about managing life. After children, it became about giving parts of myself away. This chapter reflects on how fatherhood redefined responsibility as sacrifice—and why that cost is inseparable from love.

I didn't slow down because I had clarity—I slowed down because I wanted love. This chapter reflects on how chasing connection revealed that presence matters more than productivity, and how that realization reshaped my relationship with my children.
