i dont even know why im typing this out but i cant sleep and its like eating me alive inside i feel so bad like physically bad in my stomach when i think about it
i work at my parents bakery you know the one the only one actually just a small shop theyve had it since i was born probably longer my dad was army my mom was army too thats how they met you know always talking about doing your duty and loyalty and staying true to your roots i guess but like sometimes i feel like i wanna break free from all that duty and just like do something else my own thing but not like leave them hanging you know just like a different path and i know it sounds so bad and like im a terrible son but i have this idea this big idea for a franchise a whole chain of bakeries like ours but BIGGER way bigger than anything they ever dreamed of or wanted i think
i’ve been looking at locations like real places and even drawing up plans for a logo and everything and it feels so exciting but then the guilt just washes over me and im back to feeling like a little kid who stole a cookie or something except this is way worse because its like stealing their whole life in a way and i dont want to hurt them i really dont theyve sacrificed so much for me but i just want more i want to see how far i can go how big i can make something and i know they would never understand never in a million years and it just feels so SECRET like a bad secret that keeps me up at night and i just dont know what to do what if they find out what if i actually go through with it and they think im like betraying them all their hard work and stuff they put into the bakery it would crush them i think and i just feel so awful for even thinking about it all the time...
