I had the best afternoon! And it's all thanks to my cousin "L". Because of her I was able to take out my soccer streaming site FUBO once again. Last month with a heavy heart I choose to cancel my subscription due to the rising cost. I felt that money would be better allocated in groceries than entertainment. I went one month without games and it was miserable. But when I saw on the Premier League schedule that my team was playing their rivals Manchester City my heart skipped a beat. A DERBY! I didn't want to miss that game. So even though I had planned to spend that money on food,... I changed my mind. I have a full fridge and pantry this month so I was good. I went for football instead. I took out a 6 month subscription so I know I have it no matter what happens in my life financially.
Over the past five years I have lost so many of the things I enjoy doing. And I always said that football would be the absolute LAST thing I would let go. I would be holding on to that as long as I could. But when I had to let that last thing go I felt like I had died inside. So my cousin has just given me a gift bigger than she will ever even realize. She has given me back my football!
And today I watched my game. And they WON! It was one of those games that was good. But we were losing up until the last few minutes and then scored ~ TWICE to win the game. I jumped up in excitement punching the air! It was an awesome game!
And when I calmed down I realized,... that was the first time I have enjoyed myself in MONTHS. So I think seeing how happy football makes me, I will keep it a priority in my budget. You can't take everything away from someone. You have to have something that keeps you excited. And Manchester United have proven they do that for me. I can't seem to give them up. So in knowing this,... I think I will not feel guilty and just thank my cousin "L" and enjoy.
I desperately need something to enjoy,...
