$BTC I grew up without a sword, but with the edge of will. Every scar that is not visible taught me to resist without hardening. I did not inherit armor; I forged my own with difficult decisions. I do not speak of courage: I practice it on gray days when no one applauds. I do not run for office out of ambition, but out of coherence. If the heart is your measure, you will know that I am worthy. Because honor, when it is real, needs no adornments.
