The writer expresses a mix of exhaustion and pride while emphasizing the importance of nurturing relationships with their children despite ongoing personal struggles. They reflect on the pain of disconnection from significant people who doubted their ability to improve. This sentiment fuels a determination to push back against negative perceptions and continue striving for growth, underscoring the notion that self-improvement is a lifelong endeavor, even if it feels endless or uncertain. Amidst these challenges, the desire for recognition and validation remains strong.
I'm just as tired as ever, but my ego is currently up. I only hope that I get to build a connection with my kids while I'm waiting for the big payoff.
The fact that you think I can't get better and that I shouldn't be allowed to try is proof to me that I've been doing something you think is impossible for a long time now.
There may never be an end to my troubles. One day we will pass each other by. It will be clear then, just how capable I am.
