Exactly.

One thing it took me far too long to realize was that there is always a choice. If your comfort zone isn't doing it for you anymore, then sadly you need to ditch the familiar space and find a new comfort zone. You're not chained to your current schedule or anything. That's the ultimate freedom: the freedom to leave.

And if your mom has a problem with it, then tell her exactly what you told me. Because she's not going to get it until she sees just how sincere you are when you say "it's me or this diploma, so which one do you want more?" You said you forgot who you are, well, I can give you one hint: you're not your parents or their dreams. You are you.
