You dont have any control over anyones feelings.You cant make your parents feel proud of you.You cant make anyone like you.You cant make anyone love you.You can make it easier for them, by sacrificing your time and energy, but you cannot MAKE THEM, you can only make it easier for them and yet again, what have you gained? Nothing. Youre gambling. Putting trust coins into a slot machine hoping that love comes out.
