"Looking back on this decades-long pursuit of status and success, of wanting to be perceived as "smart and successful", I can see now that I had lost my sense of self and abandoned any dreams that I had once held dear. I had not only abandoned my dreams, but also denied myself the mere permission to dream, to even tune into any passions or purpose or callings I once had."
