feeling a little crushed at the moment... I know I am being greedy joining as many activities as I can this year and I knew I would hit a boundary where my parents just won't allow anymore...

I knew, I saw it coming, yet there was this small hope that I could just join 1 more. It is something I am passionate about and I suppose that makes it even harder to make the decision to back down.

I just could not be anymore selfish than I already am. I have made things hard for them. I know I spend less and less time with my family and... I just can't anymore.
I have a sound head upon my shoulders so I should not upset them anymore...

I have used too many "I"
