Dawg this is my life and I’m looking for answers too. I want to make music and create but my mother looks at me like I shot her for wanting more than an office job for myself. I get I gotta pay student loans and I have a paid internship lined up, but a little encouragement on the side would be nice!

This but like im a little financial dependent on my parents so i feel like i have to do everything they want or they’ll cut me off in which case i would have to drop out of college and would literally not be able to afford an apartment😭 so it’s either live my own life where i have no opportunities bc im broke or live the life they want me to and have a roof over my head

I only feel less like this because I live half a country away from my family (pretty far out of state college) but it still hasn’t gone away completely, I always long for their approval but mostly just for school

Honestly I stopped feeling this once I distanced myself from my parents. It happened for other reasons, but I noticed that not giving them any information about my life helped me prioritize myself over their opinions

For me it was realizing that I would NEVER be enough for them. I quit trying and found peace. I’m also queer and they’re homophobic though
