Some lady on tiktok really put what you are talking about in this essay in a summarised point that really stuck with me, the constant chase is as a result of capitalism because in capitalism everything include human being and human experiences are a product and with any product "better" exists. Even us as people we don't see ourselves as human beings we see ourselves as products first in the sense that, what do you have to show? What is your output? Because your output is directly tied to your worth and you can now relate that to experiences, even the idea that you go to a restaurant and take a picture and take numeral pictures in order to get the perfect shot, so that it can go to your Instagram or whatever is in itself a product, a product to showcase. And i feel like the only way to truly be free from this, is to first experience life wholey and to be yourself wholey, without that need to ever ready for "consumption".

Inamake sense? I hope🤷🏽‍♀️
