If you're reading this, I want you to know that you're not alone. I know it's hard to navigate the complexities of cultural expectations, to balance the demands of family and tradition with your own desires and aspirations. But I want you to know that it's okay to be broken, to feel like you're stuck between two worlds. It's okay to not have all the answers, to not know which way to turn.
