I am a reticent teacher, mentor, preacher and at some times…friend…

Because I see the advice I give, often based on my own experiences and think -

If someone came to me, years ago with the same point of view, I’d tell them a thousand different ways in which my situation, my boy, was different

Then again, I argue everything

Have I learned any real lessons myself?

I can now identify the patterns, the pitfalls and the ways in which to stop myself, yet I don’t always abide myself.

Either I am a glutton for punishment, a true Libra, I’ve learned nothing, or maybe it is okay to keep your heart open.

Still learning
