We maybe similar, but we’re poles apart. Our ideologies don’t match. We have never fought through childhood or teens.

This silent relationship seemed fine until I started coming out of my cocoon. It’s when I wanted to explore the world, you spoke things that stopped me, influenced me. It’s not your fault, not even mine. Maybe it’s just the circumstances. You staying away from home and then getting married so early, left no chance for us to bond. I wish we had a more open relationship. Where we were more vocal about our emotions, our feelings, and thoughts.

I understand what you were expecting out of my graduation, that i’ll get placed in a nice big organisation, a fixed salary, fixed timing and days. Little did I know that life would change course and I would want to take the road less travelled. I didn’t want a 9 to 5 desk job in a huge office. I wanted to be out in the field. It’s going to take some more time, and some more money ofcourse. Please trust me a bit, that I will make something out of my life and make you proud one day. I’m not just another girl who will dream and work for it. I’m the one who will snatch it and bring it under my feet. I want to take risks. I am not afraid of any challenge. Let me dive into the world, let me figure out my own thing. I know what you think about the people in the industry and the city i’m getting into. But please try not to rant about them every single time we sit and talk about the same. It discourages me. It upsets me that you don’t believe in me or my work. It’s just petty things that I will be doing there, not living life like I would have at home. True that. But I won’t let this happen. I will make things work for me. However, in a way, your rants and disbelief in the industry also gives me the strength to prove it to you! If I don’t do it, i’ll be a big failure. And that’s my promise to you and myself.

So Just trust.
