“If you only do what you like, who's going to do what you don't like?”
“Mom's eyes held yours for a moment. 'I don't like or dislike the kitchen. I cooked because I had to. I had to stay in the kitchen so you could all eat and go to school. How could you only do what you like? There are things you have to do whether you like it or not.' Mom's expression asked, What kind of question is that? And then she murmured, 'If you only do what you like, who's going to do what you don't like?”
“Because I know what it feels like to be used, valued only for what you can do... not who you are, not who you want to be.”
“If you don't like what you're doing, then don't do it.”
“You may not like what I see but I don't like what you do.”
“Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what.”
