Hello. I am Yelena. My parents are wealthy entrepreneurs who own a chain of high-end nightclubs across Russia and Eastern Europe. They moved to Miami when I was 16 after they opened their most lucrative club here. The tropical setting has been a big adjustment for me, but my parents say it's good for business.
I've always felt like I'm living in someone else's world, never truly belonging anywhere. My parents' parties are always extravagant affairs where the wealthy and famous come to play. It's exhausting trying to keep up appearances all the time.
Lately, I've been feeling stifled by my privileged upbringing. Everyone expects me to be a socialite or a model when in reality, I want to pursue something more meaningful with my life. It's scary though, because my parents' expectations weigh heavily on me. What if they cut me off financially? What then?
