#anyway KLFJKSDL just rambling. this is my DIARY

[3416]

also. klfds don't even bother reading this i just have to type a more personal post about this whole thing... i was getting very disillusioned with the way things online were going with hockey if i'm honest. i was not having fun watching the team for stretches of the year because of the coverage and the way people talk about these guys, not just mitch, and i'm glad i get to be free of that now. idk if any of you know the feeling of being like. Too Into Something and feeling it be actually detrimental to yourself and your free time and your mood, but i was getting there with the leafs. it was obsessively taking over in a very negative way that i did a bad job of curating and guiding myself out of, and this is such an abrupt stop.

i've met SO many beautiful people just talking online about hockey and then getting to meet up in person and travel and see parts of the us that i never thought to. wonderful and hilarious and generous and lovely people who have helped keep me going. the leafs have given me so much GOOD and so much to look forward to and so much inspiration in a creative sense. and as a sport, hockey just.... IS the best and most fun thing to watch even casually. it feels so so weird to sit here and think i won't be obsessively sitting down to watch every game next season.
