You know I've made one too many blogs throughout the last few years or so. So this is my "fresh start" part like a million bajillion. None of the blogs really lasted. This one however I have faith will. I can feel it haha. So tonight the Cubs won the World Series after 108 years. I don't really follow sports let alone baseball. But I'd be lying if I said watching the cubbies today wasn't intense. And at one point when they were tied with the Indians, I prayed and made dua. Now I'm not that religious and haven't prayed in awhile. But given all the bullshit I've dealt with this past year and just how terrible my reputation etc is here, I prayed and thought- if the Cubs win today, I promise I'll do my best to pray every prayer and to start over. The Cubs are a great team. Again, I don't follow baseball but from what I do know, is they worked very hard for game 7. They started from the bottom and literally made it to the top. I've been wanting to get into a sport for awhile now. I've been wanting to get away from this city for awhile now. I've been wanting to start over for awhile now. And today, this Cubs victory meant a lot more than just winning the World Series. To me it had a deeper meaning on a personal level. I kind of saw a reflection of myself in the team. Baez is number 9 which happens to be my favorite number. And his last name starts with B just as mine. Now these correlations may sound small and stupid to you but I'm big on signs (I'm sure they're all in my head) but it makes sense to me haha. The Cubs are Chicago's team and I've learned to slowly semi hate Chicago because of the experiences I've had within my community here. The Cubs have received much negative feedback and have been discouraged from winning on many occasions. But this year, they pulled through. I feel like I can do the same. I've been beat down by people's words and assumptions. And because those people are here I started to hate Chicago and wanted to leave. But you know what? Chicago is a breath taking city. This year started off pretty crappy but it is ending phenomenally well. And although I have been beat down by a lot of words this past year, I think I can pull through. So today baseball has given me new meaning. The Cubs have given me new meaning. People will say I'm bandwagoning now that they've won, etc. but really, that's not the case at all. It's hard to describe. But again makes sense in my head. There are neighbors screaming right now and random fireworks going off everywhere. Wrigley is absolutely insanity right now. All of Chicago is actually. It's estimated that 419.7 BILLION BEERS will be sold. Goddamn that's crazy. Also, I did keep my word and prayed for the first time and Lord knows how long. It felt good. And that's when I decided to start up this blog. Thank you Cubs for bringing an entirely new meaning to baseball for me as of today forth and for officially making me a Cubs fan. Go Cubbies! 💙⚾️
