    I can also relate to the feeling guilty or proud part. I'm from the Philippines and I'm a student studying in the city while my parents are in the province so every time I experience something new and wonderful in life, there's this guilt that I feel deep inside and wish that my parents are here to share the experience with. To anyone who's reading this, I hope that we achieve our dreams in life so that when the time comes, not only can we spoil ourselves but also the ones we love, too.

    I was the only child and yes when I am alone and experienced something good, the first thing that comes to my mind was I wish my parents were around to experience the same thing in which feelings like that made me feel guilty, nostalgic which is heart-breaking but at the same time I felt lucky as I knew it was exactly what my parents wanted. That is what good parents want, they want the best for their children and it is that mindset that I will carry when the time comes I become a family man.

    As the eldest daughter who become the first in the family to study abroad, this video is really relatable. I understand well the feelings on keep being stalled either to be proud or guilty. I am confused whether it's okay to feel excited for the summer/winter break because wishing the holiday to come faster means the faster my parents get old too.

    I can relate to that feeling too, the guilt of doing better than your parents. In our minds we know, that guilt is unnecessary. With loving and supportive parents like yours, this life you feel guilty to have is also a testament to their success as parents. I believe your father didn't toil day and night for you to live the same reality that he has had, Jing.

    Ever since I was little and my dad would pick up antique items or machines for his business I’ve always loved going with him and seeing new places. Most of the time it would feel mostly like a mini family road trip where once we got to a destination we would explore and see what new things we can find. I think ever since then I’ve always loved the idea of traveling and have been wanting to travel to the countrysides of Italy, England, France, and Japan. It never came to mind of studying abroad but if I had the chance to go back in time, I definitely would have. The only thing that would stop me is my family and feeling this sense of abandoning them. I’m the eldest so I know how you feel about having a guilty conscience of thinking about or actually living in another country. I feel in my heart that Italy is definitely the place that I want to live at when the moment is right. Your videos give me so much inspiration and insight to exploring different places! ☺️

    I relate to this so much! I moved across the country to go to university, and especially aa the first generation to go (and the older sister to little brothers) it is a lot of pressure and a lot of sister guilt. My father also works in construction so that bit really hit home for me! It’s a hard thought to have when working in a corporate world, but it’s why I work so hard so I can provide for them. That pressure is hard to shake and I don’t think we ever will, but all that matters is that you’re happy in the process x
