It only hurts more when you know what could have been. And I know what could have been. It's really very very painful when I think about it.
It's not really about the victory or the medals. It's much more than that. Of course, victories are icing on the cake but that's not what really makes it beautiful. There's so much more to it than that. Of course, the thing is that with so much significance, it becomes something which can hurt you even more when used against you. And I know how it feels. To me, it feels worse than physical pain. I don't think it can compare to tearing a leg muscle. Haha weird analogy huh but actually it's not.
You know all those compositions we had to write in primary school about our biggest regret or one thing that really upset us. I used to just talk nonsense. If I do that essay again, now I can at least truthfully say I know what I'm talking about.
