Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Yeah, and that’s exactly the problem. We’re always there. I don’t know what life is like without any of you in it. I had a glimpse of it when I went to college, and then after that I moved back home and it’s back to being in the fold. I don’t know who I am without you all breathing down my neck. I don’t even know if I want to be a wedding photographer, but I can’t do my own thing, I can’t just abandon the family business, because you always talk about sacrifice and how much you’ve all sacrificed for me, and so this is it, the cycle of sacrifice that’ll go on and on and on.”
And, in the end, I have only myself to blame. My cousins grew up in the same environment and managed to leave, to spread their wings. I’m the only one who remains in the same old nest, and surely that proves that the blame lies on me.
