I found being a child of my parents really hard.
I felt like I didn't really meet their expectations. For different reasons.
I think growing up I pretty much thought once I leave home things will get better.
And to some extent it did.
But I suppose only now I'm learning that those core feelings are what set you up for adulthood.
I'm talking to a therapist and have tried to continue my personal development in the hope of not being perfect, but just alleviating those feelings of worthlessness and understanding that I do have something to offer the world, even if very small.
It's a work in progress.
