Fictional I Statements: Joel

Joel:

I am a father. I am Joel Edward Samson. I am a musician who should be a better musician. I am a father who should be a better father. I love my son. I am trying. I have not done anything I thought I would when I was little except live in Chicago. It is not glamorous. I want a better life for my son. I want him to respect me. I want him to love me. I want him to think I’m cool and smart and everything I wanted to be when I grew up. I need to change. I need my son. I am scared of what might have happened if Jack hadn’t come along. I am scared of dwelling on that, and of that coming to pass. I am scared of not giving him a better life.
