Dads

Agree or not, i feel that everyone (especially guys) tend to grow up like their fathers in a way or another. Yes, maybe not directly and definately not exactly. But, there bound to be a time where one was young and all you know, always looking up to dad. Dad seemed to be THE guy.

One will talk like dad, act like dad, thinking of growing up like dad, even being better than dad. Father seemed to be the benchmark for many eh? Being able to surpass him seemed to be a silent achievement to many. Alright, maybe this is more for guy since i'm a guy, not too sure if girls think the same way or another.

One thing's for sure for ALL kids. As we grow older, parent's words don't seem to hold as much power as before. We grow up thinking we know more and well, maybe our friends out there seen more. Things that our once 'worshipped' dad says seem to be just one of the many reference point.

Well, at the end, when all guys turn into dad, then they realise how their dads used to look at them. Guess there's no way you can understand that till you really step into their shoes. For me too i don't really understand it sometimes, so it's kinda weird why am i even typing this. But thats just what i thought might be true.

Is it?
