My parents encouraged me to be active and do interesting things, but every time I really started to get into something they seemed to get scared of me really committing to anything. It's like they were scared that if I tried really hard at something and failed, I would feel bad.

I would tell myself to go all in on whatever I was interested in, no matter how young I was. I would tell my parents to let me go hard at whatever I was interested in.
