i just had such a beautiful realization.
so the girls' team [us] got ourselves out of practice today and we're having a "team bonding activity" at emlynn and caitlin's and i dunno...we're all sitting around eating, like usual.
caitlin has this name book that supposedly explains all these things about your name. mine was pretty cool, but i don't think it was thaaaaaat correct. there were some things.
anyways...it's been an interesting year getting used to having these people as my family. a lot of the time, i have overanalyzed sooo many things and just let myself get upset. and although i thought they were perfect on my recruiting trip, things are, of course, never what they seem.
no one is perfect. i like the quote "true love is not finding the perfect person, but learning to see an imperfect person perfectly." this is sort of related to that...and i guess i didn't need to go on for so long about it, but this is what i realized today looking around at this huge group of very different girls:
they are all so beautiful! haha no, this is not a lesbo moment. i just realized...holy shit, there are things about each of these girls that are so great...what if i just focused on those things when we're all stressed out and pissing eachother off? that could potentially make things a lot easier. cuz, like i said, we ARE family. these are the only people i ever see. i couldn't tell you the names of the people whose rooms are next to mine! i'm never there - i'm always with the team.
anyways, not that amazing of a revelation and pretty damn idealistic, but it WAS a revelation for me and i just really like when things become clear like that. we'll see if i can apply it. :D
