Oh, really?

(This is a follow up to my post on 3/3)

I know you're mad.
I know you're stressed.
I know you want to kick something right now.

I'm not going to lie--I feel the same way. I also know that both of us are very hard-working and want to achieve the same goal--to be the best we can be. Unfortunately, we have very different ways of getting there.

You want to get there by making me feel afraid.
I want to get there by working hard with you.

With your mindset, all you care about is getting there. You don't care what really happens to everyone else. I used to think that way...and it cost me heavily.

Not to say that I'm completely emotionally driven, but I know enough to the point where I have to consider how others think. Throwing dirty words to your own teammate isn't really what I had in mind. Both of us are upset, and both of us know that we're going to have a really rough road ahead of us.

If you don't think that I'm taking my responsibility for my part, then I would have quit a long time ago. This brings me to my next point--venting all our frustration out. I admit--I sometimes find myself in cases where I can't control myself. Yesterday was an example. You saw how I took it out on people.

This proves how I'm not much different than you. I make the same mistakes you make, you say I cause almost all the troubles. I did the exact same things. Where do we go from here?

There's only one direction to go--forward. Because we're still partners, we have to trust each other. Without that trust, nothing else can happen, and all those hours of training will just go to waste.
