Me desconecto porque busco cada vez más paz.

Questions & Answers about Me desconecto porque busco cada vez más paz.

How does cada vez más translate here?
The phrase cada vez más literally means "each time more," which translates to "more and more" or "increasingly" in English. When placed right before a noun like paz (peace), it simply means "more and more peace." It stays exactly the same regardless of the noun's gender or number.
Why is it just busco? Doesn't "looking for" need a preposition like por?
No, the Spanish verb buscar has the "for" built right into it. It means "to look for" or "to search for." Adding por or para after buscar is a common mistake for English speakers, but it's completely unnecessary!
Why do we use the reflexive Me desconecto instead of just Desconecto?
We use the reflexive desconectarse when talking about disconnecting ourselves, like logging off social media or taking a mental break. If you just used desconectar without the me, you would need to specify what object you are unplugging (like a lamp or a computer).
Can I put cada vez más at the end of the sentence, like "busco paz cada vez más"?
It is much more natural to keep cada vez más directly in front of the word it modifies. Because it is describing the amount of paz, you should keep them hugged together as busco cada vez más paz.
