It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it.
If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.

Because it's a reminder that love is not only about what I prefer giving, it's also about how the other person actually receives it. Real love takes effort, emotional maturity, and the willingness to meet each other halfway, not just show up when it feels easy.
"Sufrimos al no obtener lo que deseamos y, si lo obtenemos, nos aburre inmediatamente; nuestra vida oscila entre el deseo, el dolor y el tedio."
~Schopenhauer
