My answer is to be ideal, leaving a little bread crumbs is enough.
I believe that you ask this question, which shows that you are struggling and you are skeptical. In fact, I am at this stage now, and my choice is my answer.
Life is so long, you can eat a lot of bread and all kinds of bread, but there is only one ideal, something that everyone cherishes, so why give up your only ideal in life? But society is so realistic that you can't live without bread, so you should leave some crumbs for yourself and let your life go on.
Come on, pick up the bread crumbs and come with your dreams.
Attach a hand drawing. I hope you are happy today and tomorrow.
