I don't follow football at all, so it doesn't really matter who the player is - but if I am not a fan of his, what does it matter?
At some point, I will accept that I have changed so much that I will never be my old self again - but I am not giving up just yet :)
I really like and respect people who never give up. It will confirm that their positive energy will always be there. You are one of those who always have a lot of positive energy in your life. I always look forward to your posts.
