Quote by Yong Kang Chan

“I began to understand that I could not depend on them to provide me with affirmation and approval. To improve my relationship with my parents, I needed to change. I needed to give myself permission and approval to do what I wanted to do. If my parents couldn’t love me the way I wanted them to love me, then I would have to learn how to love myself.”

“Enfant, on idéalise ses parents. On pense qu’ils sont parfaits car ils sont notre seul repère, le mètre avec lequel on mesure le monde et nous-mêmes. Adolescent, on ne les supporte plus, parce qu’on se rend soudain compte que non seulement ils ne sont pas parfaits, mais qu’ils sont peut-être encore plus à la ramasse que nous. Et puis, il y a cet instant où on prend conscience que ce ne sont ni des superhéros ni des méchants. Ce sont ni plus ni moins des humains. La question qui se pose alors, c’est de savoir si on peut leur pardonner de n’être, en fin de compte, rien de plus que des hommes. — Kelton”
