When Tricia walked out of the bathroom, I knew.
But in actuality the hypothetical "dad" version of me looked completely different than the man whose heart was beating out of his chest on the carpet, praying to a god or spirit I hadn't talked to in months. I basically assumed that I'd have it all together. They say boys dont cry But your dad has shed a lot of tears They say I should be a strong man But baby, Im still filled with fear Sometimes I dont know. I held on to clear expectations of where I wanted be in my career, my age, my level of self-care, and my maturity. But who am I if I'm the person you become If I'm still growing up, up, up, up I'm still growing up, up, up, up I'm still growing up Verse 2: Macklemore I recommend that you read 'The Alchemist' Listen to your teachers, but cheat in calculus Tell the truth, regardless of the consequence And every day, give your momma a compliment Take your. Verse 2: Macklemore I recommend that you read 'The Alchemist'. I've always had some make-believe image in my head of who I would be as a father. But who am I if I'm the person you become. Scared of the process of staring at myself through a page and seeing someone that I wasn't proud of.
But I think back to that night: praying on the floor at 2am as Tricia went to the bathroom to take the pregnancy test I'd just purchased from Walgreens. It would make for a far more polished and respectable story. In the message posted with Macklemore's song on YouTube, he called Sloane "the love of my life." He also wrote about learning he was going to be a parent: I wish that I could say that I was in a "better place" when I found out the news.
