I love cooking and I haven't had a steak in a long time. How is the sear?

I usually sit in the house and smoke but since getting my kids back into life and just feeling happy to be alive makes me want to get out, touch some grass, get that sun on my skin with the ear buds in my ear blowing out some LOFI🌬️🥺.

I sit outside, puffing, bowl after glorious bowl of Blue Runtz, I am so very thankful to have made it through prison, I went 17 years until I could ever hear my children's voices and now we talk daily. To say I am the happiest dad would be a complete understatement to how proud I am of the two for being so beautiful and strong. Here is a bowl for my mental health warriors and for ALL humankind.

Making this for mother's Day even though I have no mother to cook for. I work and talk to my kids daily and cook like rent is due yesterday. I do hope all the mothers here had a wonderful mother's day. Who's hungry?

I have not talked to my adoptive or biological mother in years, it's been so long I have forgotten. The recipe for this is simple. I have been working so much and talking to my kids which makes me super happy.

Fajita ingredients: boneless skinless chicken breast cut into strips, olive oil, chili power, cumin, salt and pepper, crush pepper flakes, fresh limes, dried oregano, onion and garlic powder, tortillas, rice (add refried or other type of beans to give another layer of oomph)

You can marinate the chicken which is what I did for about an hour while prepping everything else.

And before I end this post... I hope you are hungry, and you are awesome, YOU are amazing, and I am so damn proud of you for pushing through your darkness to make it to this very hour. Let us make it another hour, shall we? You are not alone, my friends.

She's a big nug. Celebrating being able to talk to my children after 17 years. I am so happy to be able to give my kids wisdom and knowledge. I'm so damn proud of who they have become. They think it's cool to have a stoner dad lol. I accept my babies and being given the forgiveness I felt I didn't deserve I have to say, life has never smoked nor looked so good.

Many years ago I helped two beautiful children come into the world. Then I became selfish, I made horrible choices that hurt my children and for years I believed they would hate me, I felt I deserved all the hatred they had for me, if they had it. BUT! Seventeen years later my children and I talk daily! I have baby pictures and prom pictures and being told I am forgiven for my absence, my anger, my alcoholism and making their mother a victim of my ways has made me the happiest father. Seeing my kids smile and see and hear them say they love me and I them, has given me more fuel to take this life at such a pace now that I see things I never saw in nature and the world.

Being able to fix myself so my children can have their dad in their lives is like a deep breath of fresh air.
