Great Expectations by Sabet

When I was a kid… I wanted to be rich.
Famous.
Free.
I wanted the world to see me — to know I mattered.

Maybe it was the bullying… or the quiet that came after it.
Drawing was the only place I felt safe.
I had no idea those sketches would one day open every door I dreamed of.

And they did.
I made it.
The money came.
The fame followed.
For a moment, I had it all.
It felt incredible… until it didn’t.

Because success fades.
And when the noise went silent, what stayed wasn’t the fame — it was the love.
The love in the work.
The love in how it healed others.
The love in the freedom it gave my family.

Maybe that’s why Great Expectations hits me so deeply.
Because the truth is —
the money, the fame, the recognition…
they mean nothing without love.
