Whenever there is a big event that divides opinion, there is usually a group of people that feel a need to call for others to “move on.” Sometimes the way they do this is clumsy, sometimes it’s arrogant, sometimes it’s kind and sometimes it’s with the right intention. It’s impossible to try to think why they think this and at the same time “moving on” can be a pretty damn good life philosophy.
But there’s a difference between moving on so your life continues the best it can without forgiving/forgetting, and then there is conveniently forgetting things aka selective amnesia and so on, that has a bad intention to it or it’s fueled by those people saying: I moved on because I’m better than you.
Why are people forgetting about Viv? Why are they forgetting about Jonas? Whatever the reason it’s irrelevant because they are free to think, do and say whatever they want and I certainly think they have a right to do just that. Some people have very strong opinions about it but choose not to speak up, and that’s totally cool. Some people are waiting for the truth to come out, and that’s not just cool too but also brilliant if you ask me.
Author Maya Angelou famously said: “No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.”
This has to be the philosophy a lot of us have to take, myself included. But again, there’s not forgetting.
She also said:
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
And this is what I think people are trying to express in their own clumsy way, because I don’t think any person has actual bad intentions. What I think lots of them are trying to say is: remember how they made you feel, be it Viv or Jonas, etc, and also move on.
Also, when talking about clumsy please know that I’m the first one to admit that I don’t always say things is the best of ways. I make mistakes and that is part of it, so just move on if you don’t like something I say yeah?
Just kidding.
Caldentey will be a good signing for us for several reasons and one of them is her starting on the left and Beth on the right and having them change flanks like Lauren Hemp and Beth do.
As an Oranjeleeuwinnen fan of course I would like to see Daphne van Domselaar at our club but I wouldn’t put is past it for the deal to not go through. Forget about any leaks though and hear me out, although I haven’t thought this through.
Daphne signed with Villa until 2026 and I don’t think the club would let her go after one year where she missed half of the season and the other half she did play it, Villa had like the worst goals against record imaginable. So if I were the club I would say: let us have a full season with Daphne. I would get selling her if you’re a team with very little money but Villa have the cash aka they might not be desperate.
