Why do you try so hard?

Because I know I am not good at anything. It is between my studies and my dream. How do you expect me to choose? It's like choosing between my family's happiness or my desire. I would be selfish if I choose my dream; but if I don't follow it, I will be in regret all my life. I want to follow what my family had sorted out for me; getting a very good result, entering university, being a doctor, getting married, having kids but it is not as easy as it seems.

But that's the case. I am not good at anything. I cannot manage to get good results as I am always almost failing important subjects. I got an email confirming that my online audition had indeed passed the early stage and I am one step closer to my dream. I still have to confront my parents and tell them I have to go to Korea for one-to-one audition. I am 200% sure they won't allow me. 

The fact that I am still thinking about this is amusing, for me. Should I live all my life doing something I love or should I live all my life doing something my family would love seeing me to do? The dateline is coming, and I feel like sooner or later I have to let go of one of these things. I've been holding onto these too tight, my heart cannot take it anymore.

I never said out loud about my dream to become a kpop idol. Simply because my friends and family are going to laugh at my face. So I sent my online audition as quietly as possible. Didn't expect I would pass actually. Tbh I regretted I sent it. Because it is giving me hope now.

How can you say you are not good at anything. Obviously you are good enough to pass the online audition! From goodness knows how many thousands who submitted as well. You beat probably thousands of people just to get that spot. I say go for it. Tell your parents you passed the first stage and now has to go for the one-on-one in Korea. Do not let this chance pass you by. You are the one who has to live the life or path you choose for the next 20, 30 or 30 years. Not your parents, not anyone else. What would you choose?

Don't ever say you aren't good at anything. Everyone is good at at least one thing; you just have to get to know yourself more so that you know what it is. And even afterwards, don't compare yourself with others. They are good at being them; you are good at being you. I would really recommend you to read 8760 Hours brcause i wrote it for those who are feeling the way you feel right now. But it's okay if you dont either. Just know that you are good at something and you shoukd stop discounting ur own self.

Have you tried talking to your parents ? tell them how you felt like on a one to one heart to heart talk... How about doing both ? like you go for the audition and all and if you were accepted dont give up studying as well. Studying its important at least you will have something to back you up later on. Its win win . You need to think wisely and think in a long run. All the best to you :) Believe in yourself and believe more in your dreams .

Aaw you are in a tough situation. I don't have any advice. But I wish you goodluck in what you pursue. I hope you will be happy with your chose. You deserve happiness. Believe in yourself they saw something in that is why they invited you. Goodluck. Funny thing I only had one dream when I was younger, my dream was to be a princess but I gave up on that dream. Have a nice day ❤️
