The Weight of Expectations

Elif Mina ATILGAN ‣

Sometimes the heaviest things we carry are not in our hands, but in our minds. They are expectations, the pressure we feel all the time.

People ask,“ What will you be?” before we know who we are. We try to choose the perfect future and aim to be a star.

I tried to follow other plans good grades and safe dreams. But I learned that living for others is not as easy as it seems.

Education and society are changing fast. Information is everywhere we go. But real strength is being honest, and choosing the path we know.
