Dear Jake:

You wrote that you were “often angry at her for no reason”.

Only there was a reason. Doesn’t mean she did anything wrong to you, but there was a reason.

You wrote: “I have lived a life chasing the expectations of others”- is the reason here, in this sentence?

You chased the expectations of others, meaning, you didn’t catch up to those expectations, this is why you kept chasing. Didn’t fulfil those, kept chasing. How did it feel, how does it feel?
