Meaning
This reads as a reflection on pressure, delay, and the strange way expectation can shape a creative life. It can be taken to mean that approval felt distant while her father was alive, and that success now carries both gratitude and regret. A line like this lands when someone finally reaches a goal after years of resistance at home.
