I have to remember that I'm an awesome dad. I am smart enough to clean up my finances and disciplined enough to grow wealth from even the tiniest of margins and healthy and happy enough to enjoy a life full of friends even if it isn't filled with a partner.
Even if it isn't filled with a partner yet
Hey, there are lots of positives to not having a partner, believe it or not! I do the laundry and dishes when I choose to do them, not because it might piss off my partner if I don't. If I want to go to a ball game one night, I do. If I want to buy another book, I do. I can sleep naked and nobody cares. And finally, I never have to talk about "the R", which is like dying and going to male heaven!
