It was 2005 and I think I was about ten; thinking of a dream
and aspirations on which I had no clue… happy to be me, following a carless
life in which I had no sonata. I initiated a path with a ball some cleats and
red crew. Its life, its passion, it’s the intensity I want and heart throbbing
moments I need. I belonged to the lifestyle and it was to be eternally mine. I
love it, sweat it, and praise through it all. Dread no icon and fear no
opponent, I will play through each and every one of them with a striving
purpose and an exhilarating heart. It’s a sinking drug and there’s no rehab for
this one. Place your body against the pitch and fight your stress away. Resulting
in Symphonies of memorable moments and slow motion picture frames, I capture
them all for the memory lane scrap book. It has a principle and gives me something
to look forward to. It requires liability and ambition baby, it’s not for all
and some just can’t seem to grasp the momentum of the ball. You can see it in
the eyes and feel it in the soul. Stay hungry and you’re certain to succeed. Sure
there are some sign affects like swelling muscles and heartbreaks but its all
part of the plan; it later leads to resting modestly and dreaming masses. Eat,
sleep, and stay humble to it; it will ease any pressure and erase any sorrow.
Many don’t notice it but it can go a long way, building character and shaping
lives. Every pass, dribble and kick is a gateway to a sweet bitter disposition.
No matter the weather, time, or location it has the power to bring any
nationality together. The game is the ruler; deciding to either bring you to
your knees or making you a victorious idol. It doesn’t or will ever
discriminate any shape, size, color, or ethnicity. Does it compare to any other
ideal sport? Well shit, what other sport do you know that makes you annihilate
force upon your bones right down to the marrow? Which other sport do you know
that keeps your heart running at a jump starting pace for 45 minutes? Which
other sport do you know that holds no wimpy equipment throughout a whole game?
It’s simply one of a kind, no replacement and no equivalents … Man do I love the sport, there’s nothing
more wondrous than a ball at your feet and a group of ground clinching
teammates hunting down an untouchable goal with same triumphing thirst. Don’t
stop until you have it at legs reach and then just simply blast your ambition
away to victory. It’s the golden culture
of our world since its first originality. The world has no meaning? Nah bruh, soccer is life <3.
The love a person has for their sport is so cool. It makes us all individuals. I can relate completely! Great job!

ReplyDeleteI could easily tell the love you have for this sport, i honestly was so drawn to how you explained everything and i found it even more intriguing to see it through some one else's eyes because i honestly dont know how it is to feel that rush and sensation that a sport gives you, if im being honest im just a couch potato that enjoys bike rides here and there..

ReplyDeleteSports in general is something that a lot of people don't understand the emotional connection that can come from just kicking a ball around. This really hit home for me.
