“Lo que el médico de cabecera ni mi posterior terapeuta llegaron nunca a entender es que el estrés no me lo causaba mi trabajo sino, tal y como le había dicho, el hecho de tener que ir a trabajar. Ocupar ocho horas de lunes a viernes en una tarea alienante e insatisfactoria”
― Beatriz Serrano

“All that time I was giving to others instead of staying at home reading or drawing or simply looking at the ceiling, half naked, observing the cracks. I couldn’t stand the idea of being forced to live that office pantomime in perpetuity just to pay for things like rent or food or a book or a weekend at the beach. I broke down every morning when the alarm beeped because life, lived this way, seemed like a badly written tragedy, boring and sterile, devoid of fun and, even worse, devoid of content, and so, on my way to work, I felt like grabbing strangers by the shoulders and asking them why they weren’t feeling like me.”
