You get to a certain age and you can't judge yourself on you

Summary

As individuals grow older, they reach a point where they need to stop evaluating themselves solely in comparison to their parents. This quote implies that there comes a time when one must break free from the shadow of their parents' expectations, standards, and achievements. It suggests that personal growth and self-assessment should not rely on how one measures up to their parental figures, but instead on defining oneself based on one's own abilities, goals, and accomplishments.
