"Walking away from “real”
As in, “that’s not a real football team, they don’t play in Division 1” or “That stock isn’t traded on a real exchange” or “Your degree isn’t from a real school.”

My problem with the search for the badge of real is that it trades your goals and your happiness for someone else’s.
