I’m surrounded by negativity radiating from my parents ( I live with them ). And it really took a toll on my emotional and mental health. For the longest time, I didn’t get any support I needed when building a startup. All I get from them are “why can’t you just be a normal person and get a real job”.

Coming from a hard line traditional Asian family, there’s is zero appreciation or encouragement to be found in my family conversations.

Two months ago I decided to cut all communication with them. As terrible as it sounds, I feel good.

While all this was going on, I met a few people that are full of energy in a contiguous way.

Thanks Michael, this piece really got me thinking
