story time on why @dwr.eth is literally my crypto father:

CHILDHOOD
- early into my crypto startup career, joined farcaster
- created safe environment for me to experiment
- dan is happy that i'm here

ADOLESCENCE
- start getting into fights with people on farcaster
- black sheep but still here
- dan writes check into unlonely, one of the earliest supporters, believes in me

TEENAGE YEARS
- unlonely rises
- ego grows
- rejection of some of dan's principals and teachings around startups and crypto
- some would say problematic behaviors develop
- dramatic breakup (leave for solana) with no intentions of coming back
- dad is angry and disappointed
- don't talk for a bit

ADULT LIFE
- independence is good, freeing, difficult, scary
- still feel guilt, miss farcaster family a bit, miss dad
- twitter account gets suspended, dan immediately reaches out to help
- mad respect for him
- prodigal son has returned

difference in beliefs are still there. solana better. but growing as adult. respect goes deep.

> dad is angry and disappointed

Clarification: I was never angry, maybe a bit disappointed.
