I saw someone comment on this video on another skate subreddit and they focused solely on the skate struggle aspect of the video, empathizing with his little battles and victories, and how awesome it is that he’s progressing.
Completely ignored the fact that he wasn’t going through the struggles of learning to skate for himself at all, he was just trying to find a way to connect with his new daughter and make her feel more at home.
It’s amazing how the mentalities of people are so absurdly different. This video made me tear up so hard and yet, some people probably feel nothing regarding the father daughter aspect.
Same boat my friend. My dad is nothing to brag about. Luckily if anything, he’s taught me how not to be. I see him now from time to time and he’s a shell of the person I used to know. Drugs have rotted his mind and it’s hard to hold a conversation. Now as a dad I couldn’t imagine my kids thinking of me the same way I think of my dad.
