“People talk about the fear of failure, right? They don’t talk enough about the fear of success … I got so in my head, ‘I’ve gotta succeed, I’ve gotta succeed, I’ve gotta succeed,’ but then it was like, ‘Oh, but what if I do, and what if I’m not good enough, and what if–’ You know, and all these things. So I just, I kind of got depressed, I got confused, I got lost, I got hurt in a match, and I kind of used that as an excuse to kinda step away, and say, ‘Look, I don’t–’ and I couldn’t even face up to the fact… that I couldn’t face up to it.

You know, like, I have to hide behind an excuse of ‘Oh, I’m hurt,’ you know? Which is why I think I take extra exception to when I’m genuinely hurt, and people are calling me out like I’m hiding behind something. Because I missed a week. I missed a week. I know what it is. I know what it is to hide behind an excuse because I did it before. I did it when I was younger. And I have never felt more low, and more ashamed of myself for doing that. I felt like I turned my back on this thing that had given me a life, that had given me a drive, that had given me a passion, that had given me a purpose.

And when I tell you that I paid for it. I definitely did, 'cause I completely lost myself. And I think what we see here, right, we see me being built up, and me changing, and me taking over, is… that’s all from below zero that I’ve had to come up, and it’s a little step at a time, but it’s even coming from that low point, back from when I was nineteen, to where I am now, that I’ve been through all this. And now I am so grateful, and I know what I’m meant to do because I lost it all.”
