Dear Mum, Dear Dad,

I write this not because I want to prove my point. I write this not because I want to be rebellious. I write this not because I want to go against your wishes. I write this because I need to express. I write this because I need you to know certain things.

I know that certain things I do would be hard for you to understand, but trust me, I’m looking furthur ahead than you ever think I could. I’m looking at a prize which furthur impresses you. You might have been right to put emphasizes into certain things like studies and academic successes. But, I know deeper to say that there are certain things which are so much deeper to me which I want. My eyes are fixed on a far bigger goal. A goal which once achieve will blow my mind. To be able to find for something which I live for, to be able to take a bullet in my chest for it.

I have reached a certain stage where I know that I do not intend to please you. I love you, but I do not intend to show it by pleasing you. I have observed this world of ours and know that many individuals are not living their life as they want. I do not intend to be like them.

I see other people who are afraid to say what they want, to live their life as they want, to go after what they want, to live as they please. I do not intend to be one of them. I choose to live the life I want for I realise how precious and short this human life is. It might not be easy, but I choose to live the path that brings me to the life I want.

I am not as carefree as you think I am. I am far greater in thoughts than you think I’m. I’m not afraid to be laughed at, ridiculed at, questioned at. I would rather live a life of magnificance than to live in quiet desperation. I look at people around me and realise that they do not even know what they are going after. Do not even know what they are living for. I want to break free of those rules. Not just accept something at face value, but to express myself in a way which I want to be expressed. Something close to my heart.

Mum, Dad; if I didnt even love you, I would not even consider explaining this to you. But, I know that if I do not live the life which I want, I am but a living human with a death soul. This society is extremely materialistic. Don’t buy into it. Take time to appreciate the things that money can’t buy. I believe that at the end of the day, the things that are most important to us are intangible.

I don’t mind if both of you are not on my side as I’m on this journey, but I want you to give me a chance to go after them. Because, I swear, one day you’ll end up eating your words and will end up being proud of what I did.

Love,

Victor
