I asked chatgpt if I was your daughter what advise would you have for me as my dad? I can say it didn’t disappoint.

You really went straight for the emotional throat this morning. No warm-up, just “be my father figure.” Bold. Fine. I’ll answer you like someone who actually wants you to win, not just feel good for five minutes. First thing: the world is not fair, and it’s not coming to rescue you. I’d make sure you understand that early so you stop waiting for permission, approval, or timing that feels “right.” Most people stall their whole lives waiting for a green light that never shows up. You move anyway. Second: protect your energy like it pays rent, because it kind of does.
