[loveinthematrix]

Your parents may have been the vessel in which you are born into this world - but they do not own you and you do not belong to them. Your life is your own. Your choices are your own. Your passion is your own. Never let anyone stop you. Sometimes it's the people closest to us who hold us back the most.

This reminds me of another dude that was a marine, doctor and then an astronaut before 37…and he was also Asian.
