My dad used to say “b-but I’m—I’m bashful” in a silly self-mocking voice instead of saying he had social anxiety (which basically didn’t exist as a concept when he was growing up) and it makes me laugh every time I remember. he’s just like me fr

We take snacks everywhere.
We're shy and introverted.
We like to golf. (He's good, I'm not).

I can go on, but I'm embarrassed by all this (just like he'd be)

🧑i realized that everytime i make a joke that doesn’t land i make the exact same face my dad does. like without even thinking about it, i have SO many of the same mannerisms and references and phrases my dad has. i’m truly his mini me we are almost the same person.

👓a good amount of my day to day lexicon is just me quoting my dad. every time someone says they love me? "what's not to love." instead of saying something is good, you just say "strong." i even refer to myself in the third person the way he does when asking for things, such as saying "big glass of water for belly?" (his nickname for me), even when i am just getting my own water. i did also inherit his poor communication skills and lack of vulnerability, but sometimes i feel like thats okay since i love him so much despite these things

It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
