This reminds me of hearing about how Millennials became the side hustle generation. A hobby was never enough, it always had to be about something more. I myself have tried to pull back the reigns on my ambitions and remind myself that sometimes a walk is just a walk and there is nothing wrong in doing just that and nothing more. Sometimes it is nice to just stop and smell the roses

I love that you're writing about this. And hey, it seems we were in London around the same time!

We have to admit that we are becoming addicts of the products and concepts that have been meticulously crafted and sold to us by corporations and institutions. Our consumer behaviour, fuelled even more by the dopamine-driven desire for more, plays right into the capitalistic playbook. It thrives on consumption.

And I love the last quote. What if we're just here to experience it all? We honestly don't appreciate the present moment enough.

Being more in the present moment solves many problems :). Thank you, Chusana!
