I never understood or supported this mindset.
Why would my life be all about making other people feel proud? If my parents had me only to be a trophy of how sucessful they are, they had me for the wrong reasons. I live for me. And the only person I care to make proud of me, is me.

Do you agree?

I honestly don't know where my parents were on a scale of anything. They weren't exactly people who showed affection.

For my own kids, I want them to be happy first and foremost, and not get sucked into the sewers (as it were).
