I am a fool; this much I know for sure. I dive into everything head first and give everything I have to it without a second thought. As a result, I get burned and hurt, a lot.
I am at a point in my life when I no longer have the time, energy, or patience for those who can’t relate.
I am a good teacher. Too many students have told me so for me not to believe it.
I am meant to live alone; this much I have realized relatively recently, and I’m okay with it.
I am a good father; this much I know more than anything.
Other than those few things, I don’t know much of anything.

You’re correct.. you are a good teacher. I can completely relate re: diving in. I do the same thing, and, if I were honest with myself, it’s hurt me more than it’s helped me throughout my life. Unfortunately, I don’t know any other way to be.
