Don't get me wrong, though---I love my parents and little brother. It's just that the difference between me and them is that they're content with their simple lives. They always have been. But, I've always wanted more. I've wanted to make something of my life.

When the moment had finally come to let go of my past life, I was surprised to feel overwhelmed by sadness.

I wanted to stay in my parents' embrace forever.
