Playing Away Games


In all sporting events there are games to be played. Two teams battle it out in fierce competition to decide who is superior. However these teams are not always teams. Some sporting events include just two combatants. Take the gladiators for example. Fight to the death for the glory of the Emperor, or in my case, Empress.

Lately it feels like I am a gladiator in a foreign land were I compete against others from the Empress' land. Always playing away games. At least until Friday rolls around. Friday is my day. My day to play at home and show my fans what I can really do. To show everyone I am capable, especially the Empress.

For the most part I have catch up as it seems I have been losing away games by default. So much lost time to be made up in one day seems almost completely unfair. However unfair the situation my commitment to winning this series will not be swayed. Even should my opponent manage to slay me I will walk away tall with my pride intact and my heart wounded. For my Empress, everything, and anything is worth it for that single Friday.

Re-aquainting


Ok check this scenario. There is a person you have not seen in a long time. Something awkward happened between you two but you want to see them again (regardless whether that awkwardness gets closure or not). How exactly does one go about doing it?

Well for starters you need to think about how much this person means to you. Not necessarily in a romantic sense, but in anyway, shape, or form. If the person is just someone you want to see whats up with and you do not care for them, its probably a waste of time to talk to them again. That's your natural curiosity kicking in (all humans have it).

Does this person have a good history with you? Maybe you just had an awkward meeting in the first place and its scratching the back of your mind to make things work. I also advise against any reconciliation. Things happen, good or bad. You can't be in everyone's good graces.

Alright here is the most common scenario. There is a person you used to be really close to. So close you called them best friend at one point. You miss how you could just talk to them about anything but they drifted away somehow. I would advise you to try to reconnect. If they put in the same effort as you, then its definitely worth getting back into. There is a flipside. Some people are just ready to move on. Friends come and go espeacially in todays fast paced world. As much as you miss the things that used to with them, life is going to go on, wether you want it to or not. These kinds of friends generally arise around high school and fade in college.

I hope everyone reading finds this informative or at least midly interesting.
