Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt and honest story, Elle. It takes a lot of strength and self-awareness to walk away from a path that doesn't align with your true passions, especially when it was chosen out of love and respect for your family. You didn’t waste your degree you honored your parents while eventually choosing a path that brings you peace and fulfillment, which is something truly admirable. Your journey is a beautiful reminder that success isn’t about following a traditional route, but about finding joy and purpose in what you do. Keep embracing your passions, and never let anyone define your worth for you.
