So between my wife and I, it was not an easy decision to move out of state. Especially a state where, if this new job opportunity does not work out, we do not have anyone or anything else to fall back on. However, that being said, I think things are finally starting to look up for both of us. I am the happiest I have ever been since I met my wife 4 and a 1/2 years ago. Especially now that she has given me 2 beautiful boys. Because of them, and her of course, I strive to become a better version of myself every day. Work harder AND smarter and try to get things done as efficiently as possible.
I want to use this opportunity to try and turn our lives around. Not that we have a bad life now, but I want to make it better. People tend to forget how they were raised as kids and how it caused them trauma. People are who they are because of how they were brought up. And as important as that is, you can be taught the same life lessons in a different way. I did not have a father growing up and I don’t ever want my children to know what that feels like. My wife’s father left her life when she was 16 and he never came back. I know she doesn’t want them to feel what losing a parent like that is like either.
I will be taking the next few years in my life to prepare some life lessons that I can teach the boys as they grow up. Lessons on things like, finances, fitness/health, gardening, and some other things that will help them be astounding human beings. I want my boys to have a much better upbringing than my wife and I had when we were growing up. I also want to teach them things that I did not learn growing up that I wish I had learned.
I wish I had been more hands-on with things around the house. Things like cooking, cleaning and maybe trying to fix things around the house that break, and possibly working on vehicles, even if its just basic maintenance.
Nothing is perfect, but you can always practice and try your hardest to get better at each and every thing that you do. All you have to do is remember that we are all human, and we as humans are meant to evolve into better versions of ourselves.
