hold on to that feeling // love & softball

so this is what it feels like to love something so much – no matter how close you are to falling off, something tells you to hold a little tighter, to hang a little longer. because it's only when you win that you can fully understand the triumph of victory, and only when you lose that you fathom the bitterness of a loss. when you have your fair share of both, you learn it builds you to be a better, balanced person.

season is starting in like a week or so and I'm so afraid yet so excited. there's a part of me that knows we can nail this, that we totally got it, and the other part that is just telling me I'm not good enough. and I worry that I'll never be. but I guess part of softball is trusting your skills, trusting your coach, trusting your teammates and having a little faith. and being the bravest you that you can be. because once you step out on the field, you're playing for the name in front of your jersey, not the one at the back. 

holding on to that feeling. holding on to that moment, holding on to the stronger part of you. holding on, because it's not always about you. and I need to remember that if I'm gonna be selfish, I'm  not worthy of being called a softballer. if I'm not willing to be the best me I can be, then might as all not play a team game.
