watching sports isn’t enough i need to read hand-crafted 3000+ word essays about the stories, the hardships, the triumphs, the fluke wins and hard-won failures, and most importantly the common thread of love found throughout, no matter the player, the team, or the game

Explain your current situation to your five-years-ago self.

wow. alrite. i’ll give it a shot…

hey chris,

your name is frank now..it’s a long story. your girlfriend is about to break up with you because of the long distance. it’s ok. & that job you’re working..well, you’re gonna have to work there for another year and some months.. & then you’re gonna get fired. you’re gonna work a couple more jobs after that too. nothing glamorous. kinkos and at&t if you really want the specifics. but you’re never gonna be homeless or starving. don’t worry you won’t fail and have to move back to new orleans either. you are gonna get your heartbroken though. twice. if it helps, the first one is gonna be worse than the second. contrary to how it feels, it won’t kill you. in fact it’s gonna help you write an album. yea, you finally finished an album. people like it man. you’re actually gonna write and record hundreds of songs. they won’t all be good and most ppl won’t think you’re talented at first, but you’re going to master your gifts. you’re going to become a lot stronger and wiser..even a little taller. be patient. i mean, you kind of have no choice. and be good to people. i don’t wanna spoil too much for you, but.. you’re on a plane right now to the east coast to work with kanye west & jay-z. it’s all working out kid. you made it.

Go ahead and set yourself up for failure.

Your thirties are all about taking risks that could fail. But you know what? Your whole life will be like that. It’s not age specific.

Daring to pursue your truest desires always includes setting yourself up for failure.

Does this require confidence? No. Does it require becoming an adventurous, bold person who isn’t ashamed of herself overnight? No. Does it require moving to a different city? No. Does it require staying in the same place, keeping your head down, and slowly building a life? Nope.

Do you need to find love in order to feel secure and also achieve your dreams? Definitely not. Do you need to give up on love in order to be joyful? Nope.

All you need right now is to set yourself up for failure. Tee off from the worst spot with the jankiest club. Die on the ugliest hill. Dive after two birds in the bush, miss them, then watch the bird that was just in your hand fly away. Piss into every wind.

And when you fail? Say to yourself THIS IS WHAT IT’S LIKE TO REALLY LIVE, MOTHERFUCKER!
