Read it many times.
I watched it during the time when I loved Arsenal, and the state was very similar to that of the male protagonist. It was like "I can't always think about Arsenal", but I did always think about Arsenal... At that time, the meaning of every week seemed to be that. Winning or losing a game will directly affect the mood for the next two or three days. But no matter whether I win or lose, I feel that I will be alive if I watch the game, and life seems to stand still on the international game day.
But love is limited. The male protagonist waited 18 years for a league title. I used to think that I could also wait slowly. What does it matter if my grades are poor? At the beginning of every season there is hope that this time it will be all right, and then again and again more disappointment. In particular, I deeply feel what is meant by "the other side of the mountain is still the mountain". Don't know since when, can't even find a special favorite player in the team?
I really cried for Arsenal too many times. When the strong man broke his wrist and started not watching the game, he even found that he didn't even have a withdrawal reaction. Instead, his life was happier, and his work and rest were normal??? Actually, I left without myself. It was so difficult to imagine that the ringtone used to be "Hot Stuff" before, and then I changed my phone one day and didn't bother to set the ringtone again, so this melody seemed to leave my life so easily. From watching almost every game to now, I watch two North London derbies every year. The mood of watching the derby is not as exciting as before. It seems that life has not changed much, but there are less emotional ups and downs, and it is more calm, which is a good thing. . Although I am still happy to see the news of the team winning, but I will forget it after a while.
But occasionally I miss it, and I even cry when I miss it. Thinking of some players and some games still makes me sad, maybe because I still can't let it go.
I don't know if I will regain my love from a certain season. Maybe I'll go back... Even though it's the ship of Theseus, things like faith and love have meaning.
However, it is impossible to love as much as before, to find another fulcrum in life, and there is no way to focus on Arsenal. But a good thing, less fanatical love, may last longer.
