Iris? The child who was never shown any love by her father. How tragic is that? First of all, where is her father? Although he was constantly in her life, her father never expressed any love for her. Instead, he gave it to her brother, who was practically obnoxious and acting hypocritically in his presence. She was always interested in how her brother acted in such a way, and to be honest, she had no idea how he was able to do it. Naturally, she is aware that it is unpleasant. She even told her brother that acting that way wasn't particularly pleasant at one time.

She was genuinely pained by the way he treated her sibling, but what could she do to earn his love? She questioned herself frequently; she had tried to get in touch with her father, but that had been a mistake. Iris, a poor little girl, had no idea what to expect from her father. However, since she doesn't even know him, how could she possibly know what he might say or do? Iris was soon locked up in her room, constantly occupying herself.

Naturally, she carried on, but over time she noticed how everyone around her was affected by their father's love. She felt excluded. She was upset with herself and her father. She pondered, "Am I not enough for him? Do I need to be flawless? Why is he expecting this of me?" She abruptly came to a stop and considered what her own father's lack of affection for her might mean. She was supposing three things: first, that she wasn't their biological child; second, that she wasn't his own flesh and blood; and third, that she had caused a problem that was fatal.

Since they resembled one another and had a somewhat similar appearance-although she does look more like her mother-she honestly believed that her previous assumption that she wasn't his own flesh and blood was incorrect. Second, she wondered aloud why on earth her mother would sleep with someone. Since her mother appears to be incredibly faithful and she knows from experience that she is, she genuinely believes it to be impossible. The third hypothesis was a possibility, so why? Why would she forget if that did happen? She was making assumptions about everything that occurred to her, but she believed that everything was untrue.

Soon after Iris decided to move on from this after a few protracted days of overthinking it. She tried and tried to get over it. She kept trying to put it behind her. She wished to go past it and put this behind her forever. Then one day, having fully moved on, she came to believe that her father was a stranger who merely came and went. It makes sense for a stranger to resemble a ghost, doesn't it? She now believes her father to be a ghost because he comes and goes as he pleases. Over time, she began to believe that everything was fine and that everything was ordinary. She feels that way about her father.

Love sometimes isn't shown in the ways people would like it to be, and some love comes and goes. We must depend on ourselves, treat and love ourselves with kindness, and not place any expectations on others. People will surely disappoint us in some way if we place expectations for them. So with that, the author genuinely ends this story.
