Kia ora. I recently became a father, so I wanted to share my thoughts about how it has impacted my thoughts, life, psyche, politics and all that good stuff. I also start with an update about this channel and my posting schedule.
Enjoy!
PS. At one point in the video I’m talking about people who don’t have kids. I forgot to acknowledge people who don’t want to have kids. So…that would get around my apparent assumption in the video everybody desires to have kids.
But I’m tired of editing this video so hopefully this description is seen by anyone who is annoyed at my tone about that.
