time is weird

I had written down the wrong date on my calendar and I thought the match Vs Everton was on Saturday but it’s actually on the 17th and I just breathed an audible sigh of relief. I normally can’t wait for the next match. I usually know the exact date or the number of days til the girls get on the pitch again. It’s just how I operate… the second the match ends I am desperate to see AWFC play again. That’s why the off season and extended breaks are absurdly brutal for me and my egotistical way of thinking.

During this latter part of the season, the total opposite has applied for me. I want the most amount of days in between matches to go by. Obviously it’s because of the injuries and the prevention of them too. Moreover, I just feel like they have all worked so damn hard in the last few weeks that it also would seem that those weeks alone could feel like a whole damn season to most humans.

At the same time, I am absolutely desperate for the season itself to end because I can’t wait to lose my sh*t during the World Cup (which I will try to cover as much as possible on here and vice the podcast).

So you see, my friends, I want time go by both quickly and slowly. I’m just a damn mess.

I’m also really struggling because for the first time since I’ve been following AWFC I find myself not being a massive fan of EVERY player. It’s a feeling that’s alien to me and I still don’t have the words to express exactly what I feel.

There’s this dissonance I feel when average players are overhyped and I find myself judging people’s opinion and its a lame, unproductive rabbit hole and I am trying to have self control and remind myself that my opinion is truly irrelevant.

Can/Can’t wait for next season.
