What It's Like Being A Cavs Fan
pintrest.com

Being a Cavs fan is an interesting experience. You go through rollercoaster of emotions. You remember being so happy that LeBron James was drafted. You remember the anger of him leaving and the joy of him coming back. Then there was the disappointing finals defeat and the ecstatic 2016 Championship win. So there's a been a lot of emotions. Here are just some of things you know you're a cavs fan.

1. You loved, hated and then love LeBron James.

Let's be honest, we were all hypocrites when it came to LeBron. We said we hated him and we wouldn't want him but we all wanted him to come home. When he did come home, we welcomed him with open arms. We saw him grow, as a player and a man and is one the most respectable players in the game. Since he brought home a championship, he is our hero as well.

2. Kyrie Irving is a god.

When he was drafted in 2011, we knew he was going to be good but no one could have predicted he would make that final 3 in Game 7 and help bring home the championship to Cleveland. Kyrie is the hero of many Cavs fans. We are in awe of his deadly 3 pointers when we need them and he truly is Mr. Fourth Quarter. May he break ankles wherever he goes.

3. The rest of team is just as good.

We cannot deny that this Cavs team is just as good. The team has chemistry and you can tell on and off the court. With their handshakes, you can tell these guys are good friends. It's everything you could want in a team, skills and friendship. There is no drama between these teammates. This team works like a well oiled machine. It is nice to see their handshakes before games and their antics on and off the court.

4. The Warriors blew 3-1 lead.

You will not be able to have a conversation with someone about basketball without someone bringing this up. Talking about politics? "well don't let that distract you from the fact that the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead." It gets brought up all the time, get used to it. Warrior fans may get annoyed and try to bring up the Indians but we all know it's not the same. This saying has become a meme quickly and will be brought up until the day I die.

5. Ride or Die.

Cleveland sports fans in general are one of the most loyal fans. They are ride until they die. Even when the Cleveland Browns did have a win, fans still packed the arena. When Cleveland was just name mentioned in passing, fans still went to games. When LeBron left, they stayed. You can always expect Cleveland Cavalier fans to back up their team. When the Cavs were down 3-1 deficit, everyone had written the Cavs off but not us. We believed.

6. We all pretty much looked like LeBron when we won the Championship in 2016.

You may not have been openly sobbing but on the inside you were. Don't lie. It's okay, it was an emotional finals. A sports championship for the city of Cleveland in more than 50 years is something to cry about. I saw college boys start crying and calling their dads who were crying as well. It was something that some people who thought they would never see it in their lifetime.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
