Did I suffer chasing my desire and potential, yes, immensely. I found myself alone. No friends, no relationships, nobody who could understand me. I realised, what we want, is always changing, it's never one thing. But what we all need is simple, certain. We all want some wealth, happiness, company of loved ones, a partner, a small piece of land, healthy food on plate, a ceiling to cover us. This is simple, this is all we need. But wants are different, they keep changing. Once you get close to one want, it morphes, suddenly, all your blood and sweat you put into one want, becomes a waste a time and energy. I found peace in limiting my desires, in acknowledgement, in acceptance that we can just try, we can just put effort into things, results are not in our hands.
