We’ve talked about fatherhood before, but usually in a vague, hypothetical way; looking at what it might look like, what it could require, what kind of men we'd need to become. But this time, it's different.

One of us is now living it 🍼.

So the conversation ended up being less about “being a dad” and more about what changes when life suddenly asks more of you. How your time feels different. How your head feels fuller. How you can be exhausted and grateful at the same time. How you catch yourself thinking, “Oh… this is me now.”

We talk about the small stuff: the moments you don’t post, the quiet guilt, the pride you don’t know where to put, the sense that you’re still yourself but also… not quite. And how strange it is to figure things out while you’re already responsible for something that matters this much.

We did not intend for this to come across as a how-to guide. There’s no big takeaway. Just two friends talking honestly about change, identity, and trying to show up properly, whatever that looks like right now.
