cheer up to people who wouldn’t be able to feel their father’s presence in their life, or can’t feel their father caring for them. your father probably loves you, but just doesn’t know how to show it to you. even if you’re not close together, it doesn’t always mean there’s no love. and to those who grew up feeling distant from their fathers, i hope you know that your feelings are valid. it’s okay to wish for a closer relationship, to wonder what it would feel like to have a father who openly shows his love and cares for you. maybe your father isn’t the type to say “i love you,” or show affection the way you hoped he would. but please don’t let that make you think you were never worth loving. sometimes, people love in ways we don’t immediately recognize. and sometimes, they fail to show it at all. either way, his inability to express his love is never a reflection of your worth. to those who aren’t close with their fathers, i hope you find comfort in knowing that you deserve love, care, and reassurance. you don’t have to force a relationship to prove that you’re a good child. and you don’t have to hide the fact that it hurts. maybe one day, things will become better between you. maybe they won’t. but whatever happens, please remember, you are still worthy of the love you’ve always wished to receive. ❤️🩹
