What kind of pressure?

The better question is what type of pressure don’t they put me through 🥲

It's tough when your expectations of yourself don't necessarily align with your parents'. Only in my late twenties did I start to better align with mine, but only after I chose in a lot of ways to set my own expectations and pressure myself to be the way I really wanted to be.

How so?

If you are under pressure just to satisfy your parents, I'd say quit being pressured.

If this pressure will be worth it someday and you see the point in that pressure, then embrace the pressure

Sasha, if you have kids, what have you learned from your parents relationship with you that you think you might do differently?

Understand how different they are and not pick favorites
