So I thought I knew who I was, but I was wrong. I realized this today when talking with my father. He basically told me that he only loves me because he has to love me since I’m his daughter.He didn’t say it to hurt me but because it was true. It caught me off guard because, until then, I had mistakenly believed that we were really close. After a lot of thinking, I realized that I had unknowingly spent my whole life trying to be the daughter my dad could love and be proud of. Now that I had failed to be that person, I started feeling very lost. I have no idea who I am or where I’m heading anymore…

Don’t stop trying, keep trying to be the person you want to be. Your dad is a little harsh, but he’s a guy, and guys are awkward. Like us. Most importantly, love and be proud of yourself. It’s what you think that matters.
