You were the best enemy I could ever ask for. I learned more about myself from opposing you than any meditation or self-help book could have ever taught me. I learned more about you than I know about people who have surrounded me for more than a decade. You challenged me. You forced me to adapt, to overcome. You used strategies and techniques that were completely foreign to me. Now they are in my arsenal. 
 
 When I lost, I was victorious because it taught me my faults. It taught me how to be better the next time. Those few times I defeated you, it left me with the bitter taste of a swollen ego. I hated it. I learned nothing. But it was enough to keep me going. Enough to make me feel like I was n't slamming my head against a wall, but breaking through it. You were the best enemy I could ever ask for. And the closest thing to a friend I've ever had.
