Ask HN: How have you changed your life after realizing own goals vs. parents’?

While we are little, innocent and don’t really think about future - some parents direct some of us to a path they think is great.

And sometimes we wake up one beautiful morning and realize we hate this path.

Please share your stories — how you made your turn in, was it a good decision, how it affected your parents and your well being, what did you choose exactly and why?

Thanks.
