Giving up on sports.

Something is changing in me. Maybe it is just a new season I'm entering, but for now I'm done. I'm done with sports.

Let me clarify... I'm done living my life in a way that consumes me with if "my team" wins or loses, or whether I can rub in it that other people's teams lose. I find no more entertainment or satisfaction in it.

This sentiment started developing before I went to Kenya, but has been solidified as I have tried to figure out how to live my life as a result of what I seen, what I experienced in Kenya. Tears well up as I sit here just thinking of the little ones in Mathare who have, and in Ngata at the Baby Centre, who have been abandoned by their parents, have near nothing... and I'm going to care whether sports teams win or lose?
