Wow, it turns out that CS Lewis wrote about me. The phenomenon he describes in “The Inner Ring” is the driving force of my whole life.
When I was very young, I did things I’m not super proud of to get in the ring. Nothing major but still not very beautiful. Now I have other methods but it’s still the same desire to get into, or rather, to be The Ring.
Well, at least I’m self-aware.

I needed that.
