remember when our elementary teachers used to endlessly tell us to write an essay about us with a theme "10 years from now" or it could be fifteen.
remember ur dreams and plans? remember how ur eyes would sparkle abt the thought of who would u actually become when u r older?—
... i'll be a good daughter and student. i'll give my parents a better life when i finally succeed in my journey"
i wrote such things mindlessly bcs the society made me believe that as long as i trust and go along with the system and process, i'll be just fine
