So while taking a short break in Indianapolis from driving home from Chicago I came to some thoughts. This weekend was needed for me for so many reasons. I have not enjoyed myself so much playing paintball in years. I have laughed more this weekend than I have laughed in years. I purposely did not wear any of my jerseys this weekend. I planned on being somewhat low profile. That was the best decision Ive made in a long time. The weekend I wasnt associated by what team I played with or ran, but by the connections and friendships that I have gained over my time in this sport. It was nice to be there not to do anything for anyone but to enjoy a sport that I love so much. It wasnt about a name on a jersey. It wasnt about anything other that being able to enjoy myself with good friends and be respected simply because I am with friends. Its been no secret that I have struggled recently with being burnt out and spent on always running and doing to accommodate everyone. Even more so discouraging when you feel its the same cycle over and over to fight for the gratitude and respect on a repeat basis. This weekend it wasnt about what people needed it was about lasting friendships based not on what I can do for them, but on relationships that last simply because they are true. This weekend was perfect for me. I was able to spend it with a group of amazing people who I know that whether its on the field or off, I will always know where I stand. So many good memories.
