I want to sell my Ferrari

I'm tired. I'm tired of running on the hamster wheel, tired of chasing after something that's always just out of reach. I'm tired of the constant pressure to perform, to produce, to succeed.

For a long time, I've been driven by a desire to keep up. To keep up with the demands of modern life, to keep up with the expectations of others, to keep up with the relentless pursuit of success. And I've paid a price for it.

My mental and physical health have suffered. I've felt anxious, stressed, and overwhelmed. I've struggled to connect with others, to find meaning and purpose in my life. And I've felt like I'm just going through the motions, without any sense of direction or fulfillment.

As someone living with a disability, I've faced additional challenges. I've had to navigate a world that's not always accessible or inclusive. I've had to fight for accommodations, for understanding, and for respect. And I've had to deal with the emotional toll of living in a society that often sees me as "other."

But I've come to realize that I don't have to keep up this pace. I don't have to keep chasing after something that's always just out of reach. I can slow down, take a step back, and reevaluate my priorities.

And that's when it hit me - the goal post is always moving. Just when I think I'm getting close to achieving my goals, the expectations change, the rules shift, and the goal post moves further away. It's like running a marathon where the finish line is constantly being relocated.

It's exhausting, demoralizing, and unsustainable. And it's not just me - I see it happening to people all around me. We're all running on the hamster wheel, chasing after something that's always just out of reach.

So, I'm selling my Ferrari. Not literally, of course. But metaphorically, I'm letting go of the need to keep up with the Joneses. I'm letting go of the pressure to succeed, to achieve, and to acquire. And I'm embracing a more authentic, more meaningful way of living.

It's not going to be easy. There will be times when I feel like I'm falling behind, when I feel like I'm not good enough. But I'm ready to face those challenges head-on. I'm ready to take a step back, breathe, and focus on what truly matters.

If you're feeling like you're stuck in the same cycle, I encourage you to take a step back and reevaluate your priorities. Ask yourself what's truly important to you. Ask yourself what you're willing to sacrifice in order to keep up with the demands of modern life.

And if you're living with a disability, I want you to know that you're not alone. You don't have to keep up with the pace of able-bodied society. You don't have to measure your worth by your productivity or your achievements. You are enough, just as you are.

It's time for us to take a step back, to breathe, and to focus on what truly matters. It's time for us to let go of the need for external validation, and to find our own path to happiness and fulfillment.
