i vividly remember that one time in class where our teacher asked us, "surely all your parents have told you, you can be anything you want to be, right?"

no, no they didn't

"and if they didn't, that's sad."

i think it was in that moment that i realized the only reason why i'm afraid of trying new things and why i'm so insecure is because of my parents.

when i was way younger i told them my hopes and dreams but unfortunately for me, they crushed them and embarrassed me. i guess that one saying was right, "parents will be the biggest dream crushers"

if they were to tell me that now, i think it would still hurt, but less. yet telling me that at the age of 5 hurt a lot, especially since it was coming from your own parents.

i personally wouldn't care if someone else told me that they didn't believe in me or that i suck at doing what i love.

but coming from your own parents? that's not easy for me
