Never had I imagined my hard work would lead to this. I was doing what I loved, so at the time, it didn't feel like much at all. But looking back, I realize I've been working myself to the bone. For years now I've been practicing every morning, every lunch break, every afternoon like it was nothing. And for what? A silly dream.
You'd see it on TV, in all the Hollywood films. The handsome and popular quarterback that was getting all the action.
I wanted to be that guy so badly. To be seen and looked up to, to be liked, to have lots of friends and maybe even a girlfriend. That was the plan. And it went all too perfect; I made the team at the very start of my first year, became mad popular within a mere week and bagged to prettiest girl in school.
My hard work has paid off. I've reached the goal I've been aiming at for so long... yet my life has never been duller.
I wonder why. I've never considered myself an ungrateful person. But the sport I used to love has become a drag. My teammates and friends never wanna do anything besides partying. And having a girlfriend has become more and more of a chore...
When did I become this way? Is it normal to suddenly hate everything you used to enjoy? Is this what it means to become an adult? Between now and a year, will I have grown to be as bitter about life as my dad?
A sigh passes my lips as I look up to the sky. Heavy clouds paint the heavens a depressing dark-gray. There's gonna be one heck of a storm.
