Hi Erin, that's actually a really good point. I suppose it intends to say that you should value their investment in you more than your desire for them. But read on its own, it does seem to convey that their investment in you is the only thing you should value which - as you pointed out - is not good advice. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. It is always appreciated and helps me to become a more thoughtful writer. I'm interested to know more about you as a person (as much or as little as you'd like to share). Feel free to reach out to me at maeyalily@gmail.com.
