“After my breakup, I stopped leaving the house.

I told myself I just needed time, but truthfully, I was tired of being rejected.

I became a loner because being alone felt safer than being unwanted.

Then one day, a coach said, ‘I believe in you.’

That moment didn’t fix everything — but it gave me hope.

And hope became growth.

Today, I’m a happily married man with twin girls — proof that even the quietest dads can rise again.”
