Leave your Kids a Blog

It is pretty strange when you decide to tell the world, very personal things. You write in a blog, and deep inside you don’t know what people are going to think about you. Do I care? Not really, but deep inside every time someone blogs, they expect to be read, and they expect to be understood. Today I want to talk about leaving to your kids, a blog.

I’m a brand new father, I’m 31 years old this year, and for me life has been a fast rollicoster, I have done everything I wanted to do, from backpacking around the world, living the hippie life in Egypt, through the 9 to 5 corporate life in Ireland and Holland. I also started my business when I was 20 and after 2 years it went downs faster and in a more dramatic way than the Titanic.

Now after more than 11 years and living in 8 different countries, I realized that the most important thing in my life is my son.

How can I explain who I am to my son if something happens to me? How could I explain him about the process that I took to become who I am now?

For sure difficult, I want my son to know the person that I am NOW. Whenever he is old enough to have a proper chat with me (that doesn’t include spider man or Dora the Explorer) well, in that moment I will be ANOTHER person. We always change and we are different human beings every so often.

That’s why, leaving this blog to my son is a good idea. My son will be able to access this blog and read my personal path, my ideas, my philosophy, my believes. My son will have in his hand, in front of his eyes, all the ideas that I though at some stage great. He will be able to laugh, to learn and hopefully understand the human beings are just in a process, and the process is eternal, interesting, challenging and amazing.

So if you have kids like I do: Lucky you. Enjoy them, they are simply the best thing you will ever have.

And why not, join the club, leave them a blog, leave them your blog, open the doors for them to meet you in the way you are today, in a few years time.
