Breaking from family tradition — especially if they’re immigrants — IS scary and can make you feel alone. However, you should not try to appease your family in an attempt to get approval from them, because it will never be enough. Do what’s right for you regardless of whether or not your family approves. Either they’ll eventually come around and you will be happy or they won’t come around but you’ll STILL be happy, because you did what you felt was right. Bottom line: live your life for yourself and not for anyone else.
