Finding Love in the most random places
When does one know they're in love? For me, it's when I'm at work, and i can only think of one thing; it's when i live my life waiting for the next encounter; thinking constantly about how i can be better... to me, this is how i know im in love. This time, love came from the most unexpected place, in the most unexpected way.At first, I just admired it from afar. "Do i have what it takes?" i asked myself. "If i were to step up, would i be able to maintain some dignity?" well, after a bit of hesitation, i decided that i should just take the leap, and see what happens. So, with stick in hand and blade under foot, i set foot onto a hockey rink for my first time ever. it was sheer bliss! after a bit of warm up and a brief skating clinic, i was launched into my first couple games of what i hope will be many, and after meriting a couple bruises, and even a couple goals, i knew it was love!
Since my first encounter a lot has happened in my hockey love affair; After only my 3rd week, i was handed my first suspension for a BIG hit (is it wrong that im proud of that? haha), and i was even told that same evening that i need to move up into an intermediate league! I was quite flattered considering that i was playing with people that had been in that league for months, and here i am, only 5 games under my belt, and i was already being promoted :) .
