You are now cursed w/ the job the main character has in the last movie/show you watched. What’s ur new profession?

@DarkHeaven That's really cool actually. Hell yeah I'm always down for a story 🤙

@ChiefWalksWith40oz My Dad is a very hard man. He was born and spent his whole childhood in Iceland. He came to the US as a teenager with my grandparents and worked his ass off to become a cattle rancher. He is without a doubt the toughest and hardest man that I’ve ever known my entire life. He is also kind and compassionate but he is never weak and suffers no fools. I’ve always been his princess but princesses have to be smart and tough as nails as well in his book. Probably the only reason I survived my own hell is based on what he taught. Don’t remember the exact details but one summer when I was an arrogant teenager, I was helping my dad and he noticed a break in our fence. Somebody on the dirt road must have clipped it with their car. We hadn’t had any cattle wander out but it needed a temporary fix to keep them in until we could fully repair the fence. I told my dad I’d fix it with some bailing wire and he asked if I needed help and I said no because I wanted to prove to him that I can do anything my brothers can. It had been hard to see from the road but when I walked over the break was worse than I had thought. The section of fence that was still up was really bad and the whole section too long for any bailing wire to really work at all. I tried to bail it up the best I could but I knew it wouldn’t hold them in if they pushed up against it but I was way too embarrassed to tell him that it was a bigger job than I could handle. My Dad thought he had at least a few hours to fix it. About an hour later we had about a dozen head break through my shit job. After we got the cattle back he went over and saw that I had to have known that many of the posts were pulled up and I’d have to be a dumbass to think it would have held. He wanted me to apologize for not asking for help when I knew better. My stubborn pride felt that would be weak. He said any child of his too stupid or too arrogant to apologize when they are wrong and know it, could walk the fuck back to the house. It was a very long walk and getting to evening by the time I got home (our ranch is just over 400 acres total,) but I learned a whole lot during my long walk that evening.

1.) I learned my Dad don’t fuck around.
2.) That I’m strong enough to hold to my convictions even when I’m dead wrong.
3.) I learned my Dad won’t expect me to apologize unless I’m actually wrong because he wouldn’t.
4.) Most importantly that arrogance is not strength, even it feels like it, it’s stupidity & weakness of mind.

I’ve watched my Dad apologize since. Not very often because he’s rarely wrong but all the more moving when he does because it’s very fucking real.

@DarkHeaven Yup your dad sure is a badass. Anyone that can run a ranch has gotta be a badass imo. You'll fail if you're not. That's why he taught you to be as tough as you are too because no father wants to see their kids fail. From your story it doesn't sound like he was mad at you for failing, just that you didn't ask for help or admit that you were wrong. That also, is a very hard thing to do which is likely why he didn't get too hard on you for it.. instead he chose to lead by example. That's very commendable. Sounds like a great man.

I learned to admit when I'm wrong as well. I'd rather be someone who's word you can trust, than someone who's ego covers my shortcomings
