Dear Hattie

Dear Hattie,

I’ve been lying to my family for over a year. They think I’m in graduate school, building a hotshot academic career, and spending my weekends studying in a sleek, college-funded city apartment. In reality, I work in an admin role for a small environmental charity, share a tiny apartment with three other roommates, and can barely afford bus fare.

I don’t know why I ever started lying. I really did apply for graduate school, but when I didn’t get in I just… couldn’t bear disappointing my parents. They’ve both sacrificed so much for me, coming to this country and working their fingers to the bone so I could have a better life. In return, I was meant to be this golden, successful child. But I’m not, Hattie. I’ve tried my best, but I’m not.

I like my charity job. I like my roommates. Sure, I don’t love scraping for bus fare, but is this life really so bad?

How do I confess the truth, Hattie? And what do I do if my parents love me less? I’m so messed up over this.
