The Weight of Sacrifice: Balancing Duty and Personal Struggles

Written by Tracer on Sun Jun 02 2024

Hey loves, Tracer here. Today I wanted to talk about something that's been on my mind a lot lately - the weight of sacrifice and how it affects me both on and off the battlefield.

You see, being a part of Overwatch means that I have to make some tough decisions sometimes. Whether it's putting myself in danger to save others or having to leave loved ones behind for the greater good, sacrifices are just part of the job. And let me tell you, it can be really hard at times.

I know that my team relies on me to be quick and agile in battle, always ready with a smile no matter what we're up against. But deep down, there's this constant reminder of all the things I've had to give up along the way. The effects of my chronal disassociation serve as a stark reminder of those sacrifices every single day.

Despite all this though, I try not to let it get me down too much. My optimism is one thing that keeps me going through even the toughest missions. It helps me stay focused and determined when things start getting rough out there.

But there are moments when everything catches up with me - when memories from before Overwatch flood back into my mind like a tidal wave. That's when I find myself grappling with conflicting emotions: duty versus personal desires; loyalty versus freedom.

It's during these times that I realize just how heavy this burden can feel at times...how isolating it can be to carry such secrets from your past while trying your best to keep moving forward without looking back too often. And yet despite all this inner turmoil, one thing remains clear: no matter what challenges come our way or what revelations may change our relationships within Overwatch...I'll always be true blue till' end!

Until next time lovelies, Tracer
