Haddie First off, you should know your father is an idiot In the same way a person who has never found love, but loves to give love advice is an idiot In the same way politicians giving out new rules to live by but haven’t lived a real life themselves are idiots In the same way people who believe in anything to be true without doing their own critical thinking are idiots What I’m saying is that this is new to me too And if it seems as if I’m relying on the Disney channel to teach you along the way it’s because... I mean... it helps. When I was younger I didn’t understand why my parents used to answer my questions with “because”  But now when you look at me with those wondering eyes, I have to settle for the failures of previous generations, because I’m an idiot Haddie, I’m sorry my mouth doesn’t understand how to teach you balance That’s why parents have training wheels But don’t think it’s lack of trying on my part On the inside is an intricate web of informa

The type of smile that pours out of your soul when the baby tiger cub reaches his furry paw out to fist bump your three year old daughter, and you watch her face light up like the streetlights in my old neighborhood at sunset. Love is supposed to be a great movie. The one where the guy finds that one girl he’d do anything to be with, including letting her have the floating door even when he’s freezing in the water. Or the one where the w
