Years in office cost me birthdays, friendships, and pieces of who I used to be before every choice became a calculation. My family learned to share me with a public that could turn on me overnight, and some nights I wonder if they got the leftovers of a man who gave his best to strangers. Now I'm asking the question I've avoided: did I actually change anything, or did I just survive the game?

Years in public office have cost your family and your soul, and you are asking whether you changed anything or only survived the game.
