Not Need, But Choice.
I wasn’t expecting the Ravens to get past Tennessee, but we did. So despite the fact that the Steelers had swept us this season, I held out hope that, despite the injuries and statistics, we just might pull it out. If we defeated the Steelers in their own home, we’d head back to the Super Bowl for the second time in nine years.
It wasn’t meant to be. To say that I dislike the Steelers is not to say that I don’t respect them. They wanted it much more than we did, and they had the experience to back it up.
Final score: 24-13.
To see my squad come so close to the big game, just to fall short one game shy of the super bowl, well, this is why we watch the game. We go through the highs and lows with them. The further we go, the harder it is to fall.
Molly was here for a four-day weekend, and barely stayed in her skin while I cheered and cussed out the TV, and then sank into a mild depression. Molly doesn’t like to people sad, especially those she cares about.
She immediately went over to my laptop and opened up my (extensive) Alvin & The Chipmunks collection. In a manner that ensured we will never end up on a reality dance show, we danced as she sang along with “Bad Day” among others.
There was a time when I would go on and on about the people I was dating in my blogs; keeping things relatively quiet about Molly isn’t meant to say that I’m not very happy where I am. It means I am learning to keep my mouth shut.
My closest friends know the truth, as close friends should. I can say that I have never stayed up late with someone downloading chipmunk videos and, later on, arguing opposite points of the death penalty.
As I grow older, I learn there are some things I need to keep to myself if they’re going to turn into something. What I can say publicly is that this place, right here, is where I want to be. Not because I feel a need to be here, or even because I feel this is where I’m supposed to be; no, this is where I choose to be.
