See, I get as miserable as you with some of the bad stuff, but this is odd to me.
If you're going to be a sports fan, you really need to try to get more out of the success.
Let's just get this straight: nothing is going to change your life except maybe a lot of money.
You have to be content with your day to day, and the victories along the way make it a little bit sweeter.
The LIberty winning didn't make me not at work on a Tuesday, but the banner in my office says "2024 WNBA Champions" and every time somebody looks at it I'm like "that's right." This year I'm putting the official New York Liberty jingeball on the Christmas tree. I recently went to the Barclays Center with my dad for a college game. I looked up at the banners and stared at the empty spot for awhile, and man...that hit.
But I'm happy at my job, and celebrating Christmas, and doing things with my dad whether they won or not.
Same thing with a relationship. You can do things with somebody and that's great, but you need to do things you enjoy without somebody.
I feel like you try to make sports the main dish when it's really the sauce.
The thing is last season for most of the season I was on a high because other than a couple of months in the middle of it we were winning almost every night and I was excitedly reading this board and thinking about games. But when the team wins you can read articles and whatnot and buy merch but at some point the best that happens is I think about it for a few seconds and smile. But some people make it seem like it'll change everything, it won't.
