An individual shares a deep reflection on their internal struggle against hyperconnectivity and stimulus dependency, emphasizing a desire to disconnect and regain control.

In today's world, where constant connectivity and stimuli surround us, an individual describes themselves as addicted. They highlight the frustration of having many ideas but lacking the time and energy to execute them, which further immerses them in a state of stimulus dependency.
Despite experiencing moments of liberation, they note that the constant flow of external stimuli or an overdose alters their state. They acknowledge being a slave to stimuli, wanting them even when they don't, and consciously accept their dependency, which makes them addicted.
They dream of the possibility of looking at the ceiling of the room, regaining the tranquility they once achieved so easily. In a process of transitioning from who they are to who they want to be, they are trying to build a healthier relationship with themselves.
The goal is to "learn to be," simply, present. They hope to gradually disconnect and break free from stimulus dependency. They want to take control, rather than leaving it to the numerous external "agitations." Or, if not, at least, to be guided by a solid reason.
