10. My parents have been a huge part in making my decisions for the future. How do I tell them that their vision of my future is not the same as mine? —Lavanyap via BuzzFeed

I'm going to say if your parents are good parents — and I'm going to choose to believe they are — that they just want you to be happy and safe. I went into a very unconventional field. My dad was an architect, my mom was a surgeon, and they are very skeptical people, very fearful people. And I think one of the things that helped them was to show them, not tell them, that I was capable of doing things. And I started doing that when I was in elementary school and high school when I would audition for plays. In college I would write plays and they would come see it. They could see that it wasn't just me telling them, "I can do this, let me do this." They built confidence while I was building confidence. That way I never had to be like, "I'm going to do this, let me do this. " They kind of just had to be like, "Well, she's been doing this this whole time and she's had success." Like anything else, it's show, don't tell. And if you feel like you need to tell your parents, "It's in me, I just can't show it" then maybe you need to just show it for a while, and then come back to them and say, "See?!?"
