The rest is still unwritten.

When people raise their expectations from you, expectations that you’ll achieve what they failed to do, things they once hoped to do but never got the chance, only then you start becoming someone else, someone you can’t recognize. You’re lost in the middle of nowhere or maybe somewhere, but not the place you want to be. They drew a path for you and made you wonder, is this where I want to be? Is this what I want? Is it too late to be where I want, to be who I’m, you start to blame them and the only person to blame is you. It is you who didn’t stand up for your dreams, your identity, yourself. Maybe you thought it was the right thing to do, in order to honor their presence or death, but trust me: If they ever got a chance, they would make their dreams come true; not yours.
Go to your comfort-zone, dim off the place, close your eyes and imagine… Imagine the life you wanted, imagine the person you wanted to be, imagine the places you wanted to go; Open your eyes, and make it come true. It’s not going to be easy you’ll be tired and exhausted from the resistance and most of all not sure whether to continue or just stop, but it’s not about the path you’ll take, it’s the end of it. Try as much as possible to enjoy the journey with every moment to be captured. Don’t depend on people to fulfil your needs, as not all of them will be there for you. You are surrounded by two types of people, some will underestimate you and others who will believe in you and have your back.
You’re on your own now, keep in mind that no one will support you forever, so you have to get up when you fall, to keep your eyes on the goal, not to be distracted, and believe in yourself, because you’re worthy. You’re worth of everything, of being something. No power on earth can stop you if you’re determined, and don’t be hard on yourself if you didn’t make it from the first time, you’ll learn from your mistakes and try to avoid them the next time; at least you’re trying.
“A real loser is somebody that’s so afraid of not winning, they don’t even try.”
Someday it’s going to be late, don’t wait until that day comes.
