This is Why we Fight

The most recent time period in my life has been great. I am very happy with what is going on in my life and what has been going on recently. I've been realizing that I was completely right during the period of time before that where i was hardly happy. I was right because I knew that if i fought through the bad time there were great things to come. And thank god I was right.
This year (meaning school year) things hadn't always been going so great. I hated the fall because all i did was fuck stuff up with 2 people (i think 2, but we are good friends now) that i liked and wish for basketball to come while going through off season workouts. Then things got worse as my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Then i messed things up with another person who i really liked, but that ended up being ok because we are such good friends now. And then basketball was finally here. We were hyped up to be the best JV team around and had thoughts of an undefeated season. Well that can't happen when you lose you're first game. And then start off 1-4.
So obviously things turned around since I'm happy now. And as usual it seems to parallel to sports. The team turned around. As of now, as i write these words, we have won 11 of our last 12, including a win over a team that the league thought nobody could beat, giving us a record of 12-5. During this time my mom beat cancer. She is a survivor. That's something i can forever brag about. The last thing that happened is also amazing. I have a girlfriend. Had her since January 18th officially and I'm loving it. It's a new experience to me, but one that i welcome. Today is her birthday and thanks to the snow i don't have a chance to celebrate it with her, but i will tomorrow for sure and i can't wait. Soon basketball will be over and that will make me really sad. I hate the end of a season, but i know i will still be happy overall because of her.
I love being right, yes this is true. But this is something that I LOVE being right about. Yes there are bad periods of time in everyone's life, and mine aren't over either. But i guarantee you that if you fight through them, things get good and it is damn well worth it.
