DeMar DeRozan: Everybody don’t …

DeMar DeRozan: Everybody don’t understand the dedication you put into something you love and that you want so much. And sometimes you do it out of your own pain internally, you know, it’s like I worked so hard to escape this feeling. But everybody wanted to enjoy the good stuff that came with me working so hard when I really was working hard to suppress my pain, my dark days, my dark nights when I felt so alone, you know, so I wish I would have understood that and not let it affect me so bad when other people probably didn’t get it in the moment. And always scared to communicate and tell people like, you know why you work so hard and why don’t like going out or why you don’t like doing this? It’s like, ‘Yo, I work hard because when this is the only time I get to escape, and you don’t see that I’m really screaming for help at times when I become tunnel vision and working so hard’. Sometimes you just want that hug.
