inner turmoil,

fierce competition,

and self-doubt.

Until you finally lose control.

Except the thing you loved in the first place.

This story is repeated so many times throughout history, a beautiful cycle of self-discovery and the journey to make the world a better place. After an amazing adventure, the hero is left with what he loved in the first place, something so often overlooked because it’s always right there beside us. Something that we would unknowingly, go to all lengths to protect. Now the hardest part is to not let go of what you love, never let blind ambition, ego and greed make you forget what you’re fighting for in the first place.
