Dedication

Today I was at my final wrestling tournament ever as a member of the West Allegheny wrestling team.  I was not wrestling. I was merely a fan, but I feel like it is my duty as a member of the team to stay dedicated to my team until the season is officially over.  Jordan and I were the only kids that were not wrestling to show up.  I think that shows a lot about how much the team actually meant to these kids.  It actually sickened me knowing that our own team wouldn't take the time out of their day to support the guys they have been working with all year.  To me it shows a lack of dedication to a team and a lot of selfishness.  That is really, all I can say today.  It was a pretty dull day aside from a few aspects.

In school we had an assembly about teen dating violence.  There was a speaker who told us about how is daughter was stabbed 16 times because she broke up with her boyfriend.  For a relationship to work, both partners have to be dedicated into making sure the other is happy at all times.  You cannot control your significant other and isolate them from the rest of the world.  They have friends and other people they want to see.  Being clingy, obsessive, and controlling will only drive the one you love away.

While writing this blog and reading it in my head I've realized it isn't that good.  I'm sorry I guess its just being tired that is hindering my writing skills.  So I'll wrap this up.  I have 2 honorable mentions tonight.

Number one goes to the West Allegheny Swim Team.  When you look at the title of this blog, the swim teem defines dedication.  They practice twice a day, go on intense tapers to do their best, and work hard every single day.  This is why they are one of the most successful teams in West Allegheny and the state actually.  They work harder and want it more than anyone else.  They stay tough through the hardest workouts and never quit.  It shows true heart.  I really wish I could watch these girls at WPIAL's.  Sadly I too have to stay dedicated to my own team that I am a part of.

My second mention goes to my really good friend Morgan.  Little do people know, I am very very self conscious about everything I do, how I look, and what people think of me.  I have a pretty shitty self esteem.  Today Morgan simply complimented me.  It was nice and simple but it was a compliment.  It's been a long time since I received any positive feedback about anything I do.  I told her it made my day, and I think she may have thought I was kidding, but it truly did.  Although it was slightly humorous of how the compliment was said, I took it to heart and it meant a lot.  For the first time in quite a while I felt good about myself.  I kinda liked that old feeling I have not had in a while.  For that I thank you Morgan.  I love you best friend.  You have no clue how good you made me feel today.

Well that's all guys.  I'm sorry today was a pretty shitty blog.  I'm just pretty tired.  I promise improvement tomorrow.  I love you all.  Goodnight.
