Growing up Chinese American, my family expected me to be a doctor, lawyer or engineer. And lo and behold I am not any of those ^-^ Have you guys ever felt like you were pressured into living a life that wasn't yours? I always felt I had to do everything perfectly and strive to make my mom proud. But I didn't realize how that pressure negatively impacted my mental-wellbeing and caused a lot of stress and depression.
Dear Younger Me, this is the advice I would've given you:
1. You're not wasting your family's sacrifices if you aren't making a 6-figure income.
2. Find a career you like doing. If you're at a job that your parents want you to be in but you hate it, it's gonna be miserable for you and you're gonna be resentful towards your parents even if you do make a lot of money.
3. It's not an all-or-nothing kind of deal when it comes to income.
4. Every time you feel something, whether it's cloaked in anger or sadness, write down what happened and allow yourself to feel those things. And then slowly you'll be able to pinpoint why you're feeling that way and be able to work through setting boundaries and not feeling that way.
As always, I hope this helps!!
In love,
Jamie
