K,

I've thought about this carefully, 

and I want to go to Northshore. 

I believe it's the right decision for my career, and for myself. 

I know this may not be what you have planned, 

but I'm asking you to support this decision and help me make it happen. 

I'll take responsibility for my choice and whatever comes with it. 


Please let me take this opportunity.


Help me in relocation if you can.

K,


I've spent a lot of time thinking about this, and I need to be honest with both you and myself.


I've decided that I want to go to Northshore instead of Atlanta.


This isn't a decision against you. It's a decision for myself.


Right now, I need a place where I can rebuild my confidence, learn to make my own decisions, and grow into the person I want to become. 


I don't want my future to begin from fear, dependence, or the pressure of making everyone else comfortable before I'm honest with myself.


My parents have sacrificed so much for me. I owe them honesty, not explanations for decisions which I wasn't sure about myself. 

Before I take a step that changes the rest of my life, I want to know that the path I'm walking is truly mine.

I don't want to hide things from my parents anymore, they deserve to know about me. 

They deserve to visit me often, they deserve to see an independent version of me, which I am not all these years under your umbrella and I am faking it with myself.


I know this decision will disappoint you, make you hate me, get angry on me, and I understand there may be consequences. 

I'm choosing it knowing all that. 

I'd rather live with the consequences of making my own decision than the regret of ignoring what my heart has been telling me.


I care about you, and I genuinely wish you nothing but happiness. 

But I need you to respect this choice and let me walk this path.

If our paths are meant to meet again, they will. If not, I'll still be grateful for the good moments we shared.


Please don't try to convince me otherwise. 

I've made this decision after a lot of reflection, and I need you to let me go forward.


Today, I am choosing to stop running from that truth.

Today, I am choosing myself.


I sincerely wish you the very best for your future.

Please let me go to Northshore. Help me if you can to setup my house there, if you wish not to, thats also fine. 


But I will be forever grateful to you for what you have done to me in life and career.


I've spent a long time trying to silence my own thoughts so I wouldn't disappoint anyone and I am tired of disappointing myself.

And I've finally reached a point where I need to stop running from the truth and simply sit with it.


Please na meda aravakunda, kopam padakunda, alochinchava
