What do you love now, that you hated when you were younger?
I used to hate sports as a kid.
Technically, I played T-ball, but “played” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. I was the kid standing in left field picking flowers instead of paying attention to the game. When it was finally my turn to bat, I somehow managed to run to the wrong base.
Needless to say, I was not exactly a future athlete.
Fast forward to now, and somehow I’ve become the person yelling at the TV during baseball games.
You’ll catch me watching a batter swing at a pitch that’s clearly unhittable and immediately going, “Why are we swinging at that?!”
Like… today is not magically the day you’re going to hit that nasty curveball. Let’s be honest with ourselves here.
I don’t know when the switch happened, but somewhere along the way I became emotionally invested in sports, and now complete strangers can genuinely affect my mood for the next three hours.
Life is weird.
