Feelings

"Do you remember why you play the game or has it been to long? Is it because you've worked so hard to get where you are, or because you love to be a part of a team? Is it because you love the roar of the crowds, or the anxiety before a game? Is it because you don't want to let anyone down, or yourself? Is it because you love the sound of a perfect goal, or because you would rather be on the field... than anywhere else in the world? Somewhere between the athlete you've become, and the hours of practice, and the coaches who pushed you, and the teammates who believe in you, and the fans who cheer for you, is the little girl who took the shot, gave the pass, made the save--the one who fell in love with the game and never looked back. PLAY FOR HER"

-Mia Hamm

I want to feel like that. To love soccer, or anything else really, that there is nothing in the world I would rather be doing. 

I want to be part of a team that believes in me and that loves me and cares about me. 

I want to make the shot, give the pass and make the save. I want to fall in love with the game and never look back. 

 Right now we are at that awkward crush stage in life. I have no idea how to fall in love with it though. I want it to be what I think about all the time, and the thing I just can't imagine my life without.
