Among other questions about life, literature, and love, Golblin Reservation asks Eric Paul, “How has being a father changed anything for you?” Paul responds:

So far, the biggest change is in my ability to experience emotions unlike I ever have before. It is difficult to explain, it is almost as if somebody built an addition onto my heart, a second floor full of rooms available for filling with more emotions.
