I was ready to quit Instagram and close this account after six years and so much content.
Because I've been feeling... this account is not meant to grow. Yesterday, I posted a story saying that this would be my last post on this particular account. And for those who I make sense to through my posts, you can follow me on another account. I didn't realize it, but all this while Zoe was watching me.
And as soon as I was done, she started, "So you'll just let your efforts and hard work of six-plus years go down the drain? Just like that? You keep talking about failures and effort and how whenever we fall, we learn a lesson, blah... blah... blah! And those were just words? Sure, I was thinking that you are extremely strong, but I guess I was wrong."
It was only after that that I realized what example I was setting in front of Z. After that, quitting was not an option.
For me, yesterday was one of the biggest lessons I learned from my daughter, and as a parent I can proudly admit that she is a better teacher than I am.
