recently i realized i’m becoming more like my father.
he told me, “leave 30-45 minutes early. an hour, if it’s more important.” but at the time, i was like, “acha, it’s not too far”, and i’ll leave just 10 minutes before and end up rash-driving.
but now i leave early.
he told me, “always keep a handkerchief with you”, but i was like bruh why.
now i keep em.
he told me, “always carry a purse with cards, ID, and some cash”. but at the time, i was like, bruh my phone has UPI, ain’t that enough?
now i walk with a purse around.
i used to look at his patience and only see weakness.
but now i know that patience requires a whole lot of strength.
