I was expecting my dad to tell me more about how much I fucked up and how stupid and disappointing I am but instead he looked at me and told me how he just didn't expect that from me. He said that people want to listen to me speak because my words are actually worth hearing. How I have a unique beautiful mind. He said I'm the strongest person at our house when it comes to saying no. That I know what's good and what's not and I can take care of myself without anyone's help. I would've rather have him yell at me again then say all this nice stuff because it hurts even more to see how much you have disappointed your own father after how wonderfully he thought about you.
