From party guy to present dad - 5 years later

I was a mess at 25. Every weekend was about going out, staying up late, basically avoiding being an adult. Then my girl got pregnant and I had to choose - keep living like a 20 year old or show up as a father. Chose the latter. It wasn't some instant transformation, took years of actually changing. Now at 30 I can't imagine who I used to be. I miss sleeping till noon sometimes but I'd never trade it for what I have now with my family.
