I absolutely feel the need to make my parents proud, especially my father. I love my parents more than anything in the world. More than that, I really like my parents. I always factor in what they will think of whatever decision I am trying to make. Ironically enough, my parents are the most accepting people I know. They don't care what anyone else thinks and they tell me I shouldn't either. They only want me to be happy and will support any decision I make regarding my life. And yet knowing this I still strive to make them proud. I still worry about what they will think if I choose A over B. In some ways it can be a burden. I truly put the weight of the world on my shoulders when it regards my family.
Basically, you are so not alone.
Feel the love, girl!
