the top post which is included in that newsletter happens to be my post: #405904

Where I quoted this passage from a book I read years ago:

"People never talk about the insanity of the decision to start a family with everything an adult knows about the world, or about the terrible sensation of risk that descends on a man, I mean a man in particular, a creature used to relative speed and strength and power, when he has children. All at once you are vulnerable in ways you may never have been before. Before I was a father I’d felt safe."

^^ is that kinda what you're talking about? I always thought the sentiment was kinda dark, so maybe you don't mean that
