I think we all have a plan, all the plans that I used to because they look so exciting. The quick wins, the short calls, the moments where I think things through because the surface was looking so perfect and shiny.
And then I found out that, I found the truth in the hard way. I learnt a bitter lesson from a bitter experience. Bodybuilding actually shaped who I later became. I learnt what the real opportunity was, how it feels because I know what the fake stuff.
When I see the true ones, I can identify it from the fake ones. I learnt what the real opportunity is like. Whose gold is so loud and shiny, whose gold is so quiet but so heavy. I think life teaches us something very important and that is what the tattoo of this was full.

That's how I perceive life, too, sometimes. It teaches us that beauty and meaning don’t always come from authenticity; sometimes they come from perception. What was once dismissed as “fake” can still prove useful.
