In Closing

I’m excited for you.

This is a fantastic adventure which never ends…and it only gets better over time.

Yes, there will be challenges. Yes, there will be frustrations. Yes, you are going to screw things up.

The key here is to remember that if you get something wrong, it does not automatically mean that everything you’ve done is wrong. Just stop, take a deep breath and go back to the last sure thing you remember and start again from there,

It’s that simple.

Not easy, mind you, but it is simple.

You can do this. I know it. It’s been 30 years since I became an official Adult and I’m still trying to figure some of this crap out. That’s after 30 years with my wife, a handful of kids and even more grandkids.

Trust me, you’ve got this.

Besides, the best advice I ever received was from my own father when he said:

“Life is about having and keeping a good heart. If you have a good heart, everything else is just practice.”

This message is really heartfelt and encouraging, especially the way it normalizes struggling while still offering reassurance and hope. What inspired you to share such a personal and reflective piece of advice?

I'm a father of 13, with 35 grandchildren....and my life has been built around youth.
People matter.   I'm glad you liked it, Eva.

Ahh now I understand it. Thank you so much for answering me <333 I really appreciate it. Btw I had a random AU-related thought that reminded me of your fic, and I was wondering if you'd be okay with me sharing it on another platform(like discord/tumblr).absolutely no pressure. :)

My 'fic'?? ...do you mean fiction? Feel free to share where you like, Eva. I don't advertise....so any exposure I get is through word of mouth exclusively.
