I push you because I care, and because I see what you could become. I’ve been afraid. I’ve been angry. So when I say I’m your ally, I mean it. I won’t let you lie to yourself. I won’t let you quit on the part of you that’s trying to grow. And I will always respect you enough to tell you the truth.

Especially one❗️: pain shared is pain reduced. Train alone if you want. But if you want to become dangerous in a calm way, you train with others. Because isolation doesn’t just make things harder. It makes you weaker. That’s why solitary confinement is used as punishment. See you tomorrow, warriors ⚔️
