Growing up with parents who think they have the right to control their kids life is one of the most stressful and unfortunate things.

Being the first born child of a successful businessman, Sebastian was always expected to be perfect in almost everything.

Not only was he expected to excel academically but also in different kinds of sports and other activities.

As he grew bigger, his parents' expectations of him kept on rising which made him feel very pressured and tried very hard to live up to their expectations.

From which school and college he would join to which subjects he would opt for, Sebastian never had a say over anything. Even if he tried to voice out his opinion, his parents would shut him up by saying that they knew the best and would always choose the best for him.

Sebastian's father, Arthur Stewart would set up an annual routine for him which Sebastian was compelled to follow without missing a single assigned task.

From a very young age, Sebastian was told that he would have to take over his father's business and establish a name for himself.

At the age of ten, when Noah used to run around playing and having fun, Sebastian was taught how to be a responsible man and was forced to attend special classes to increase his IQ.

Amidst all the expectations and pressure, Sebastian's childhood which was supposed to be the most blissful and enjoyable phase of his life, was completely overshadowed and he was burdened with responsibilities to fulfil and to live up to his parents expectations.

Sebastian decided to endure everything thinking that his parents would finally be satisfied after he achieved everything that they wanted but things weren't that easy.

As Sebastian grew older, his parents' expectations of him kept on increasing and it never stopped. Everytime he achieved something, his parents raised their expectations to something higher. It was like a never ending ladder.

Growing up in such a systematic and restricted environment, Sebastian's personality also took an one eighty degree turn. He started living his life like his father had taught him to.

As years passed by, Sebastian kept on drowning into the pool of responsibilities, the pressure of making his parents happy and living up to their expectations. His life started revolving around the same circle.

There was a time when he was tired following the same routine over and over again so he decided to move out of the main mansion to a place of his own where he could live like he wanted to. But little did Sebastian know that he was habituated to living a punctual and systematic life so no matter how hard he tried, he could never live a carefree life like Noah and his other friends.

After moving out, things became even worse. Sebastian fully immersed himself in his work and never stopped following his schedule. In fact, he tightened up his schedule and started working overtime everyday.

As people said, Sebastian did live a robotic life. He had a schedule for each and everything. In fact, he had his whole life planned in a nutshell.

Sebastian felt suffocated and restless when he didn't know what was going to happen next. If something that wasn't included in his plan happened, he would try his best to turn the situation and the result according to his plans.

People said he had long lost the true meaning of life but little did they know that Sebastian never got to know what living a real life felt like.

Removing his hand from his chest, Sebastian sighed. He was already used to living that way so there wasn't anything he could or wanted to complain about.

Sebastian had already prepared himself to continue living like he always had but little did he know that fate and destiny also plays an important part in one's life. What is meant to happen will happen no matter how hard he tries to avoid it.
