Zinoleesky admitted that certain habits and ways of doing things have shifted since his son’s arrival, as he’s now more intentional about his actions.
“There are some things that I would have done before or let’s say the way I do some things I have reduced just because of the boy,” he explained.
He further added that parenting has brought clarity to his journey, describing it as a humbling but fulfilling experience.
“I have to keep my head down, keep my head straight. And, it has been a blessing, too.”
