Tale of a mediocre middleclass boy!

This is a short story with no end so far of a mediocre-middleclass boy from a small town somewhere in Europe. I am sure there are many others who fall into this category. He was born into a middleclass family. He does not remember a lot of his childhood other than a few incidents here and there. His childhood was quite normal from a middleclass family point of view. He has now grown into a successful yet unhappy professional. His father is a very ambitious man probably life made him so. Working all his life for his family now looks forward to his kids achieving something great their lives or probably the boy thinks so now! At a very young age, he learned to respect his parents and probably decided never to hurt them. Thus began his journey of keeping his family happy. In this process, although he became the most loved child of his family, he was not loved by his own self. As he grew up, he started agreeing to career as well as personal decisions that was utilitarian in view. He felt this was the best way to go about it. After all his brother was a rebel and wanted to do things on his own and even did so on many occasions. So the being the younger for a change he decided he would go as per his parents wish. One of the other reasons that compelled him to agree to his parents wish was because he was quite indecisive and low on confidence to stand up for what he wanted to be in life. So he chose the path of least resistance - just agree and believe everything will be for the good. In the process of his career, he made great friends, had a comfortable college life and also ended up getting advanced degree finally ending up in a decent job. Now that life seems to have slowed down, he is beginning to reflect on his life - trying to make sense of what happened and whether it makes sense or not. For some part, he feels "Yes, what I did and what I am doing is for my family" - another part of him says "Oh, what have you done, In the process of making your parents happy, you have lost your own self, you never did anything for your own self"... Now that he has a decent job, decent salary, he wants to give back to his parents who have done so much in his life. For various reasons, he is now realizing that he might not be able to give them what he wants to and feels regretful for not being able to do so as well as regretful for his own self for not being a little more selfish all these years. He is seeing signs of his family not being in a position to accept what he has to offer. At this point in life, he is trying to make sense of where his life is heading to, why he has to work, earn. It is difficult for him to motivate himself for selfish reasons. Hopefully, he will find a meaning - well even if not - time doesn't wait for anyone and will keep chugging along - and so will his life !!
