I really need to talk to someone. Emma: Of course, David. You look exhausted. Is everything okay? David: Not really. It’s my parents again. We had another long "talk" during dinner last night. Emma: Was it about your career choices or your grades this time? David: Both. They started comparing me to the neighbor’s son, Minh, again. You know him, right? Emma: Oh, the guy who just got a scholarship to study abroad? David: Exactly. My mom kept saying how hardworking he is and how his parents must be so proud. Emma: That sounds tough. Did you try to tell them about your own progress? David: I tried, Emma. I told them about the new project I’m leading at work. But they just brushed it off. Emma: Why? That’s a huge achievement for someone our age. David: Because it’s not a "stable" job in their eyes. To them, if I’m not a doctor or an engineer, I’m a failure. Emma: David, look at me. You are not a failure. You are one of the most dedicated people I know. David: I want to believe that. But when your own parents look at you with disappointment, it hurts. Emma: I understand. But you can’t live your life just to satisfy their expectations. It's your life, not theirs. David: I know, but my biggest fear is actually disappointing them. I feel like I'm constantly failing them. Emma: You aren't failing them. They are failing to see your value. There is a big difference. David: Maybe. But every time I walk into that house, I feel so small. I feel like I'm not enough. Emma: You are enough, David. You need to stop comparing your Chapter 1 to someone else's Chapter 10. David: It’s hard when the comparison comes from the people you love the most. Emma: I know it’s hard. But you have to prove to yourself first, not to them. David: You’re right. I need to focus on what makes me happy, not just what makes them proud. Emma: Exactly! Let’s go get some coffee. My treat. You need a break from all this pressure. David: Thanks, Emma. I really needed this conversation. Emma: Anytime, David. Remember, I'm always on your team.
