Thoughts of a kid who grew up without a Dad.

Before settling down, always think of your (future) child’s/children’s welfare. Think more than a hundred times about choosing the person you’ll end up with. If that person has a possibility of leaving you when times get rough, you should start contemplating whether that person is worth it. Just imagine how hard it is for a child when he is asked to do their family tree project in school, how it breaks his heart when most of his classmates have their Mom and Dad with them during Family Day at school. Not just that, if you don’t know the feeling, imagine how hard it is for a child to live his life with a lot of questions and how hard it is to carry the weight of that missing part of his being.

I understand that separation is inevitable because of many factors, but all I’m saying is, be very careful in choosing someone. Don’t be blinded by love. It’s not all the time that what your heart feels is always right and should be followed. After all, our hearts will never work without the power of our minds. Find the balance.
