Last night was my first time back at lacrosse practice since surgery. It was easy to be there and I didn’t feel tired while I was there. I feel tired today, however. I hate how surgery takes away stamina for daily life and activities. I don’t think I am excessively active normally, so it seems annoying to have to slow down so much. But I know healing is the priority.
I coach goalies and build great relationships with my goalies. The position is SO HARD that we have to keep each other boosted up because it’s so easy to get down on yourself. All of our coaches are big on teaching respect and support for goalies, so we don’t have any trouble with field players making goalies feel bad. I wouldn’t stand for that either way. It’s not cool.
We watched the debate last night. It was…interesting. I don’t generally watch debates but it feels more important this year. I feel like my life depends on this election, but I am not sure it actually does. It could be a painful 4 years if one side wins, but can they truly ruin the country for those of us who don’t fit their model of ideal? I’m not so sure. I find that I am more upset with the supporters who act like anyone that doesn’t look like them is not human. They complain when they think someone is getting special rights they don’t have.
I am just looking to exist as the person I am. I don’t want special rights. I was willing to give my life to this country so I deserve to just exist with no fear. Everyone deserves to exist without fear, no matter where they love, who they love, what religion they are, or any choice they make for their own life that does not impact anyone else.
