AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What about expectations? – carving my own path is going against everyoneโ€™s expectations – my moms that Iโ€™m not the classic marriage is my dream and fantasy kind of girl drooling over every boy I meet or not into makeup and things – my dads thinks he made me too independent.ย How do they not understand that I am the person I am and they need to accept it not control it?๐Ÿ’’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’‘๐Ÿซถ

Iโ€™m terrified of marriage too. Feels like every relationship is a bondage to tie you up. What if he too like my brother canโ€™t take me outshining him.
