Robin—this speaks so clearly. I know the weight of those old voices telling us to shrink, to apologize for the space our body takes. For me, it began long before I could name it—layer upon layer of conditioning shaping how I stood, moved, even breathed.
Reading your scene here—a dad simply present in the moment, with family, with joy—it lands as a small act of everyday reclaiming. No explanations, no performance. Just being.
That is no small thing. Thank you for reminding us all: our presence matters, exactly as we are.
Every dad deserves to think they are the coolest dad, even if their kids cringe in embarrassment at the mere idea. Just keep on being you. You're awesome.
This story perfectly illustrates the prompt for today without being heavy-handed or overly complicated. Such an important message contained in a snapshot of a moment. <3
Love this and all the dad bodies just doing what they do

I'm putting my money on you as the coolest, because you're owning that badass dad bod 🙌🩵🩷🤍🙌
Oh my gosh that first line is killer 😆 and so fucking relatable. I’m often in this space at kids soccer on Saturday, when I’m a Dad/Mum.
Love this writing ❤️
