it's really nice when yr mum tells you that you can "do photography for leisure" but you must get "a nice, easy high-paying job like an english lecturer as yr profession" and yr exhausted, decrepit and nauseous and yr almost falling apart with illness and ache because you spent the day you were supposed to be resting in bed travelling to the other

" but you must get "a nice, easy high-paying job like an english lecturer as yr profession"

my god. my mother tells me THE SAME THING.
i got so fed up i told her if i had to study any longer i will go mad and kill myself.
so now, her dream for me is to get married to a rich dude, be a housewife and then study to be an english professor or something.
i give up.

My mother likes to suggest future plans for me because she still thinks I'm unable to handle things like that, that I'm too young and indecisive. Sometimes it can be very frustrating but I think she's slowly getting the point.

My parents don't really care as much about how my performance would affect what others think of me. They used to, but changed over the years. I do know how it can be so stifling despite their good intentions.
