Chapter 24

• THE GUILT AND REGRETS
• I wish I could follow my dreams like he does, even with all the obstacles that lay in my way. I wish I let my passion guide me instead of being scared of my father. If only I had pursued my dream of becoming an event planner. But that dream was crushed when I was young. If only I had the chance to start my own business or if I had the courage to chase my dreams. If only I had not let my father's control and fear hold me back. I would be free, like him. I am satisfied and proud of what I do. But I gave in to fear, and now I am facing the consequences of letting fear control my life.
• It is hard to see him pursuing his dreams so boldly when I have been too scared to do the same. I wish I had his courage and determination. Maybe then I wouldn't be stuck in this situation. I regret not taking risks and following my heart. Now, I can only watch as he thrives while I struggle with the consequences of my choices. I am awaiting my unknown fate.
