It's that time of my life when I need a drastic and big change. I've had that period a couple years back. I let go of many things and did what I had to do. The peer pressure was nonexistent, or at least resisted at all times. Self-control was at its peak. The ideas and ideals of stoicism are not well understood and still perceived as the tip of the iceberg in philosophical circles, despite it being the cornerstone of human success. Many don't realize that sacrifice is important to garner longer term joy. To an extent, a single commitment might become one's life's objective, and I find it beautiful. Maybe that's what mainstream media dubs as obsession. Perhaps quiet - discrete - obsession is what we all need.
