He loved his parents but they expected him to pay for everything. Everyone got quiet when the bill came out. He helped his sister taking them to the parent. His parents were getting old and set in their ways he didn't expect much from family. He learned what not to be instead of saying I want to grow up and do that.

He was hard working paying his bills and minded his business. Over the years he got tired of arguing with his siblings someone was always mad or holding a grudge. He just wanted a normal family but his family was crazy. He thought family would be like the stuff he saw on TV. His up raising was nothing like that especially with his culture.

He didn't like the idea of giving up who he was to be accepted. Being submissive to be liked he was private since everyone seem to think they knew what was best for him. Over made up ideas of success and what others think making it is. Success in his head was not going to come easy or natural since everything he wanted required work and stepping out of his comfort zone.

He wasn't materialistic owing a house doesn't make you authority in the family. Having kids didn't make you success if you never pursued your goals and dreams. Many settled and have the nerve to complain. He respected their decisions. He saw opportunities and chances for change even if it did get complicated.

While he had his up hill battles trying to get the job he wanted or his family being a road block in his ear telling him he was messing up or not going to make it. Called crazy for having a vision in his head an outline that doesn't always turn out accordingly.
