It made me think about how many other areas of life people dread quietly, resent deeply, in the silence of 2-minute pauses, 2 weeks, 2 months, 2 years, and even 2 decades. A lifetime can be spent living a life you don’t like. Nobody wakes up one morning and decides to betray themselves. It happens slowly, almost imperceptibly, through a series of small concessions made in the name of survival, approval, or desire. One compromise rarely feels like a moral failure. It feels practical. Necessary. Even justified.
