Wow, reading this made me think of so many aspects of my life. The past, the present and the future in a way I hadn’t expected. This really made me question the person I am today who is she really? A mix of my mother’s fears and limitations placed on me and western pursuit of individualism? I hope this challenged other readers like myself to reflect inward to discover who they really are past the current perception of themselves.
