Solaris said:What have we actually gained from all this? Learning that you should never give up, pushing forward with courage and grit, believing in yourself even when nobody else does. Hard work, persistence, and truly loving what you do always pays offβeven if it takes seven years to see it happen. π
That rush of adrenaline and endorphins in your system feels absolutely divine. π
But I agree, that success belongs to them... regardless, we're all happy for them. π
Just wanted to jump back in since a few people reacted to my post. Honestly, the comment above is the only real answer to the questions I asked. Way to go, Solaris!!!
And to everyone who tried to link my thoughts to politics in any wayβyou're dead wrong. It just shows how one-track minded you are (yeah, politically speaking). Sure, there's that argument that sports is just another arena for political maneuvering, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised by those reactions.
If you think Iβm emotionless, or that I wasn't stressed watching the game, or that I didn't enjoy the aftermath, you couldn't be more wrong.
It's just that sometimes I have the ability to step back, look at myself from a neutral perspective, and analyze my own emotions as if they were happening to someone else.
So, I'll leave you with this:

We can do anything we set our minds to; we just don't always choose to.
