In the spirit of transparency, I’ve been absolutely slammed in rehearsals and I have not had time to write today and I’m literally typing this in between songs. I am also not entirely sure what to write about today but there’s one thing that is on my mind at the moment and that is how the end of the season bring a sort of hopeful nostalgia and uncertainty.
Sometimes we know when X player is moving on and sometimes we have no idea and it takes us by surprise. As a fan, this can be heartbreaking and rough and it feels like there’s no way of assimilating this. Its tough and I had it happen with DVD and Jill. I didn’t see that coming and it was brutal af.
I guess we need to love players and actively support them day in and day out and realize how lucky we are to have them in our club because we never know how long that will last. This is yet another example of how women’s football and life are basically the same. And not that’s not some sort of Ted Lasso reference, although I love that show, except the theme song which might be the worst song I’ve ever heard. 😂
Lots of goodbyes, lots of missed chances to truly appreciate those players, maybe lots of sendoffs that are underwhelming.
I don’t know… its pretty emotional.
And there’s also the new beginnings, the joy of knowing players we like will get more playing time and a better experience elsewhere.
Not sure what to feel.
