“I had lived my entire life making choices based on my perception of my mother's happiness. But after all that time, I was starting to understand that chasing her expectations would be a never-ending cycle; that bar would be set higher and higher each time. I would end up emotionally and physically deflated whenever I tried to fit into her definition of success. Trying to keep her happy left me unhappy with my life choices. I finally realized that I would not be able to fulfill my destiny if I was too busy trying to live my life for others. It was time to let go of her goals for me and start to make some of my own.” — Lindy Tsang
