When I told my parents I didn’t want to go to college, the house turned into a battlefield. My dad said I’d ruin my life. My mom cried, asking where she went wrong raising me. I just wanted time to figure myself out, but to them, it sounded like laziness. I eventually gave in and enrolled, but I felt like I lost my voice in the process. Even now, years later, when I think about that decision, there’s still this quiet ache in my chest. #Life #Family #Generations
