It's frightening how much I see myself in you sometimes.

The same competitiveness, the impatience, the stubbornness to take the hard way, the drive for the good & better...

And I see our weaknesses clearer than ever, how one word blurted out of anger could devastate a relationship, how easily we could detach from those who lost their moral compass, albeit how intimate the relationship had been...

The conflicts and mishandling of relationships I had here really pushed me to be a person that I've never envisioned myself to become. I'll admit that in some instances, the push gave me more protection and courage to uphold my values, but sometimes I see myself going too far.

I hope I'll be able to preserve an untainted conscience and ambition along the way.
