Family is not always a safe place. It can be a crucible of emotions and expectations.
Parents: "I thought you weren't serious about anything... You quit studies, after that painting, writing poems, and you had abandoned that rifle shooting too..."
Me: "Mom, Dad, have you ever thought about my career? Do you know why I'm always taking up new things? Because I wanted to prove myself. I wanted to do something to make you feel proud."
Parents: "We're so sorry."
Me: "It's about both of you and me. It's about what you both made me feel all these years, that I'm just not good enough."
Parents: "We're sorry."
Me: "Sorry!! Sorry won't fix this, Mom, Dad. Sorry won't fix anything."
-Yashi💔
