Indiana:

Hi Mom and Dad, I graduated today with latin honors I hope I make you proud. My GWA wasn't the highest among all of the graduates under my course but I'm satisfied with it because I know I did everything I could to achieve it. I realized those numbers doesn't mean much in my life but it does for you and that's why I gave my all for it. I was always at the top, I never experienced a failing grade since that's the goal right? But as I'm typing this one I realized from all those years that I'm on the top of my class, I never felt much joy and satisfaction and that I felt more relief that you will not be mad at me and that you'll not compare me to my siblings. Having good grades is never a bad thing, but making everything a competition is another thing, it's really unhealthy to the mind. I hope you see a new perspective. I can't hate you, I will always and deeply love the both of you, I'm just hoping that we end this already, I'm so done with competing with everyone and expected to be the best in all aspects. I just want to live my life the way I wanted to live.

I'm letting myself free from all your expectations

Always take care there, I hope this message finds you well.

See you when you come back :)
