For a long time I thought the key to being a success, to being great is what we give up. Sleep, friends, a normal life. I abandoned it all for that one amazing moment. That moment when I would have been larger than anything, larger than anyone. There were days that made the sacrifices seem worthwhile. And there were the days where everything felt like a sacrifice…

I fear for the sacrifices that I won't see coming, when I won't have time to come up with a strategy, to pick a side or to measure the potential loss. Because when that happens and the battle chooses me and not the other way round, that’s when the sacrifice can turn out to be way more than I can bear…
