and enjoy the whole thing (in the normal and natural way), to celebrate the amazing accomplishment!

Until then, I'll remain hopeful and celebrate the wins independently, as I try not to dwell too hard on the losses, and I'll continue to appreciate the fun family experiences and bonding as we show out all geared up to support the team and school that we love!

And while I'm typically the realist and voice of reason in my circles, I remain optimistic when it comes to my rooting interests, and I couldn't care less for the opinions of those who know significantly less than I about my team and my fandom. In fact, I routinely can't believe that people like this get paid for the "privilege" to read their drivel. So, no thanks, I'll pass!
