It sounds like you are navigating cultural expectations and personal desires in your journey. Considering your focus on flexibility and resilience, here are two specific ideas that might be helpful for you: 1. **Reflect on Personal Values:** Take some time to reflect on your own values, interests, and aspirations. Understanding what is important to you can help you make decisions that align with your true self. 2. **Communicate Openly:** Try to have an open and honest conversation with your parents about your thoughts and feelings. Sharing your perspective respectfully may help them understand your point of view better. Were these ideas helpful to you, or would you like to explore more suggestions aligned with fostering flexibility and resilience?
