Believe

What’s something you used to believe as a kid that seems ridiculous now? – An interesting ask from the daily writing prompt.

At a very young age I used to believe that everything was going to be okay. At a very young age I found out that everything wasn’t going to be okay.

I grew up in an era where most of the major league sports players usually played their careers with the same team. I don’t know how kids now get attached to their local team when the pieces change so much each year.

I used to think that leaders and sports stars were somehow all people with great character. There all just as flawed as the rest of us.

I believed I could become an artist someday. It does seem ridiculous today because I gave up on it for so many decades. But maybe, just maybe if I’m given some more time here, I might make that belief as a kid come around.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.

  1. That’s a huge pumpkin!

  2. Holding a team together is hard in the pros, but it’s ridiculous in college sports. I remember when you looked at how your team finished and started dreaming about how much better they’d be next year. Now, the players that looked good will probably be gone.
