I don't think people understand how much a man sacrifices for the betterment of the people he cares about. You would have never known because he never said anything and never showcased the stress, which is often overlooked.
Hanging out with people on your level is very important, I’ve never had issues with my friends who are focused doing big things. No drama, no hidden animosity, nothing. It’s always the ones you make an exception for who show you why you shouldn’t.
