if we’re already living in a world organized by suffering then what we currently have or desire is detached from our actual intrinsic motivations, from our true selves, from what makes us truly happy. This means that giving it up is not an actual sacrifice but a first step toward reconnecting with one’s true desires.

Yuval Noah Harari • Sapiens
I was unwilling to be trapped by something that looked successful on the outside, but felt like shit on the inside.
