> Happy Father’s Day, Fellas, And this year, to me too, of course as a father, cheers!!!
Yep, this year, the father’s day was different, apart from the celebration with my father, And I celebrated with this little one — Zara, my six months old daughter, who is growing really fast:

Just thinking that I am a father now, the feeling is phenomenal. And it comes with the greater responsibility as it brings up the bigger shoes to fit and you face it, with the different perceptive that people build for you.
Your struggle to be a good father will become real, you become cautious if I do this, what people will think of me or I’m not gonna do that as it’s not something a father would do…
> And most importantly, what will Zara think if I do this?
The people will start judging you on your music, what you wear and how many drinks, you have!
Just not a long ago, I had— - C’mon, you shouldn’t listen to LMFAO, you are a father now!!! - Don’t say this, ain’t you a father to a daughter now?
> Do I care, I don’t? It’s me and our parenting, I know, I will learn with the experiences, will set some rules and but being a father is not a liability to show, you are a good father. Besides she gives me an opportunity to be better than I am, better than I used to be!
The things will change, for the better, I will change too. And I promise, I will be the better person, not the one that people want me to be, but the one, that Zara wants to see!
But for now — It’s her and I;

And I love spending time with her, playing and making her smile, giggling, walking, creating videos, and now even clicking selfies are more fun with her.
This father’s day gift was, going for a hike with her and it happened —

Along with the learning, I am beyond grateful to this lovely family, to the love (now second) of my life — wife and all the moments that they bring together, everyday:

~family~
Time flies and these 6 months taught me some great lessons for life, I will share them in a different space, but —
> For now, have fun, take breaks, go out and remember, the life is beautiful, help others, love your family and make every day count…
