The Weight Of Expectations
thoughts
Have you ever felt like you're living someone else’s dream? That’s how I feel every single day. Growing up, I was always the “smart one,” the person everyone expected to do great things. But lately, I’ve been wondering—what if greatness doesn’t look the way they think it should?
I don’t want to be in a suit, working late hours for a six-figure salary that drains the life out of me. I don’t want to impress people who will forget my name the moment I’m no longer useful. I just want peace. I want to wake up and feel excited about my day.
But how do you tell people who believe in you that their version of success isn’t yours? How do you break free without disappointing the ones who love you? Maybe one day I’ll have the courage to find out.
