The last message was from Henry. He was wondering why I hadn't gone to sleep, since it was nighttime in my country. It was already 10pm, not my bedtime but too late for me to have any dinner. My stomach grumbled as I turned on the bed, trying to release the weight on the left side of my body. If I eat anything now, I'd have indigestion in the morning, I thought to myself. Sighing, I dropped my phone carelessly and cracked my knuckles, pressing them against my thumb to briefly forget my stomach's dissatisfaction.
I've been laying on this bed since Brooke left in the morning. Getting up only for water, snack breaks and forceful visits to the bathroom. Half of the time was spent searching for ideas on Instagram and YouTube. Well, that was the intention but like Tyler Joseph, I now see intentions don't mean much. None of my favourite influencers were on the reels and shorts I impulsively consumed. I didn't even try to search for what I was looking for.
My laptop was screaming for my attention at the other end of the room. I hadn't even gotten the ideas down. I barely touched the novel I'd been paid to write. It was boring anyway— aliens, AI fairies and UFOs, things people don't care about. These clients should just try writing their stories themselves. But it's for the money anyway.
I don't want to be a father yet, my mind complained. I've been trying to avoid the thought since but it seems it doesn't want to leave me alone.
I wasn't ready to gain so many responsibilities yet. I know I'm just whining but that's how I feel anyway. But I know I'll have to take care of this new addition to the family. Brooke feels the need to keep the baby but I don't want her to. She feels it needs to grow and experience life like every other human being but, why now?
More than that, Brooke needs support now even though I opposed her keeping the baby in the first place.
It's going to be difficult, but maybe fun. Let me figure out how I'll call Brooke first.

You may have not gotten to meet this guy if not for one brave woman.
It is that you used the hashtag otherwise I wouldn't know who that guy is. Or isn't he the one. I also have no idea who Brooke is. If I hear that name I always wonder if it's a girl or a boy must be because of how it sounds in Dutch.
Did he lost his phone or his hands that he can't figure out how to dial a number? AI can help him with that unless he can't speak either (singing perhaps or use his toes?).
off topic: did you hear from vwrites?

Last time I heard via X. I hope too s/he comes back. Most do after some time. I said if too busy with life to take it easy. We will be there. Right?
Am just too busy and try to be here, there and read as many as possible but it would be a help if a few others would read and comment as well. Everyone likes to be read once in a while an receive some advice.
A happy day to you.

Yeah we would be here. Thanks for always reading my posts. It means a lot. 😊
I might disappear for a while too. But I'm not sure of when I'll be back.
Have a great day 💜

Yes, he's the one. Maybe I need to replace the picture with a better one

It's fine with me I only know his name and I like to keep it that way. Is the story real?

The story is real in Justin's context because he might have been aborted if his mother hadn't stood her ground. But as for this scene and character, it isn't real. Justin's dad wasn't really there for him, he had left his mother when Justin was just a toddler.
I wrote this when I thought about kids we never met and the ones we'd never had met if not for grace.

Sounds like the average father I know. I doubt if it matters if you ever met your father as long as you know you are loved. Since I believe in the spirit/soul and not in the body I do not see children we never met. We meet who we should meet and met before and recognize. The soul cannot be killed and migrate into a different body. So nothing is lost except perhaps being unwanted and hated for existing. This is way worse to deal with.

I do not believe the soul can migrate to another body. I just wondered if they were successful, we wouldn't have been given the opportunity to meet Justin.
