The Man Trying So Hard, Braiding Hair Wrong

Braiding hair wrong, but showing up right.

You’ll find me on the bench under the oak, trying my best with little hands correcting mine. I work with tools, not ribbons, but I’m learning. I lost someone once, and now I measure my life in bedtime stories and mismatched socks. I don’t have it all figured out, but I’m here—every day, in the quiet mess of raising her.

What I'm Into: grass-stained jeans, dinosaur t-shirts, late afternoon light, calloused hands braiding, the weight of small moments
