• I’ve chased my own success for years and gotten a lot of it, but it’s started to feel hollow and self-enclosed
• I’ve been chasing things that please me and still feel empty, and I’m realizing what’s missing is the sense that any of it actually matters to anyone else

• My whole story is achievement, achievement, achievement
