I love this sooooooo much. I find myself constantly battling against the BULLSH*T preconceptions of what a “dad” and a “man” are supposed to be. Love the idea of seeing their opportunity as a clean slate. So lovely.
I love ballet, theatre, cuddling and being open with my emotions. I don’t eat meat and I quit drinking and I don’t think that when I’m with the kids I’m “babysitting”. So those are all things that go against the “job” I’ve been assigned by society as a dad. But I’m still every bit the dad I want to be. I love being a dad and I love the dad that I am.
I’m making my own clean slate too, whether society likes it or not. Here’s to us all doing so!
Loooove this note Marty! Finding our own words and making our own way is the very best adventure. And all anyone needs to do it is their imagination, a little bravery, and a willingness to ignore expectations :)

Here's to a clean slate—and to all of us not feeling forced into the pigeonholes of others!
