Forever young

A friend shared a video in a chat group. It’s about a player’s career. That player is one of my favorite baseball players. The background music is forever young.

 

While watching the video, so many things just burst into my mind. Firstly, growing up, one of my dreams was to watch that player pitch on the mound. Thankfully, I was able to go to that stadium. For me, going to that stadium was the main objective during a trip. My friend asked me what I would like to do during that trip. I only wanted to go to that stadium. But unfortunately, I didn’t see that player pitch. I saw him, however, he wasn’t scheduled to play that day.

 

It was a pity that I didn’t see him play. Nevertheless, I made it to the stadium and I enjoyed watching the game.

 

I understand that I would never watch that player in a game. I mean, as a player. As life goes on, watching that player in a game in the stadium would forever be an unfinished job.

 

Some friends asked me whether I would regret it, for me, it’s complicated. I couldn’t travel to that city and go to that stadium this year. So, there’s really nothing to complain about. And for me, I tend to think about something positive now. I took a trip and it was a great one. There was something unexpected, but one of my childhood dreams was fulfilled.

 

I have already visited many countries. However, I understand that there will be some countries, well many countries that I might not visit. I can’t complain or blame. There are priorities. There are options. It’s just about decisions and sometimes, you know something you can’t control. And while watching that video with the background of the song, I hope to stay young, in particular, my mind.
