Do I want to be a hero to my son? No. I would like to be a very real human being. That's hard enough

As a father, the idea of being a hero to my son is both appealing and daunting. On one hand, I want to be someone that he looks up to and admires, someone who he can turn to for guidance and support. But on the other hand, I know that being a hero comes with a certain level of expectation and pressure that I'm not sure I can live up to.

I think what I really want is to be a very real human being to my son. I want him to see me as someone who is flawed and imperfect, someone who makes mistakes and learns from them. I want him to know that it's okay to be vulnerable and to show emotion, that it's okay to not have all the answers.

Being a hero to my son would mean always having to be strong and confident, always having to have the right words and the right actions. But being a real human being means being able to admit when I'm wrong, being able to ask for help when I need it, and being able to show my son that it's okay to be imperfect.

I want my son to see me as someone who is authentic and genuine, someone who is true to himself and to others. I want him to know that it's okay to be yourself, even if that means being different or going against the grain. I want him to see that being a hero is not about being perfect, but about being true to who you are and standing up for what you believe in.

So no, I don't want to be a hero to my son. I want to be a very real human being, because I know that's hard enough. And I hope that by being true to myself, I can show my son that it's okay to be true to himself as well.
