Pride is bad, stress is good. I don't want to feel confident. I want to feel rage. Endless, all consuming rage.
Andre Agassi

I question myself every day. That's what I still find motivating about this. I don't have the answers, I don't pretend that I do just because I won the match. Just keep fighting and maybe something good happens.
