Main quote:
I just cannot keep up this speed anymore. It's just affecting me in a myriad of ways. So I just, I just left it all. So that's the beginning and the end – it was just burnout.
Additional Quotes:

My worth is not caught up in what I produce.
My worth is not caught up in my gifts and my talents.
