What They Said
I’ve had some tough losses in the past, but this one was hard to accept, to be honest. It took me a week, or even a little more, to stop thinking and move on. I would say that this is a lesson learned and that it is in the past. It’s always — not always actually — but it’s nice to have those tough losses because next time you’ll do a lot better...Now, I’m ready to take my revenge if I have the opportunity.
