The time I dedicated to this martial arts group feels like a lifetime lost, clouded by ego and misguided ambition.
In my pursuit of rank, I ignored the troubling signs about the group's culture, blinded by my desire for personal achievement.
I look back now and understand that my involvement was not just about self-defense skills, but also a way of avoiding personal accountability.
Ultimately, what I thought was a journey toward mastery turned out to be a source of shame and regret, reflecting poorly on my character.
