This resonates so much with me 🥺 I was a consistent student achiever all throughout my school years and people had such high expectations of me. But the thing is, their definition of success never resonated with me. I want to pursue what truly matters to me and live a life that I'm proud of, not the life that they want me to live.

I could also relate to the pressure of meeting all these impossibly high standards set by society 😢 Nobody's perfect—the important thing is to keep on learning and improving ourselves.

Thank you for sharing—I relate to this so much 🥺. It takes real courage to follow your own path and focus on what truly matters to you. Society’s high standards can be overwhelming, but you’re right, nobody’s perfect. What matters most is staying true to yourself and continuing to grow. Wishing you all the best 💛.
