Disclaimer:  Amazingly, this is original work and not fanfiction for once.  No stealing my stuff.
A/N: This is what I came up with while trying to unclog my brain enough to work on the Sess/Rin fic.  Just some introspective bs...

It's a suffocating feeling, indeed to self-reflect and realize how short you've come up to where you thought you'd be. At least that's what was going through my mind as I read this.

I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, it's beautifully written, on the other hand, I realize how stifled my own life is and that's where the suffocating feeling is creeping in.

Great job nonetheless!!

Thanks, I'm glad you like the way it was written. :)

I know what you mean. I was a pretty stereotypical Asian kid growing up and all through college... being an overachieving perfectionist and whatnot. I seriously never saw myself stuck in retail as long as I have been. That, and with the way the company's changing into pretty much Asian!Dad mentality, as far as the expectations go, it's been really overwhelming, especially since we don't have enough people, and enough people who take their job seriously.

Yeah, I was the same. For some reason I always felt the need to prove myself especially in academics because of my being Black and people's stereotypes about Blacks and academics....whatever they may be. I was always an overachieving perfectionist and the fact that I wasn't able to finish my University studies because of money still haunts me to this day. I never in a million years wanted to be a nurse (though it's a good profession, just not my thing) but that's where I am....it's weird.
