I love my family deeply, but sometimes it feels overwhelming. There’s this constant pressure to be the person they want me to be, even if it doesn’t always match who I am. I often feel guilty for wanting more space or a different path. I don’t want to disappoint anyone, but I also don’t want to lose myself. Balancing my needs with theirs is something I struggle with every day, and I’m afraid to say it out loud because I don’t want them to think I care any less.
