FIELD NOTES // 020 - The Truth About Sacrafice

Everyone says they want it.

Until it costs something real.

Sacrifice isn’t a word on a hoodie.

It’s missing the call you wanted to answer.

It’s being misunderstood.

It’s sitting in silence while everyone else moves on.

They tell you it’s about balance.

They tell you you can have it all.

But you learn quick — you can’t build something uncommon

without giving up what’s common.

You lose weekends.

You lose sleep.

You lose people who never understood why you kept showing up

when no one else did.

But that’s the price.

And the ones who can’t pay it,

never reach it.

Sacrifice hurts.

But regret destroys.

The truth about sacrifice:

It’s the tax on becoming who you said you’d be.
