The time has come. The summer has passed and your season has begun and yet here you sit, once again, on the sidelines.

You sit back and watch as your fellow teammates take part in the sport that you once loved so dearly but now is filled with bitterness, pain, and resentment.

The thought of quitting crosses your mind again and again but you just can't seem to pull the trigger. You're tied to the idea of what was and what could be.

Your teammates continue to offer you support and thrill at the idea of you coming back again but the idea makes you cringe. You sit and think about the pain you have endured and pray every night that it will just subside but here you are.

Still sitting. Day after day. You feel as if this pain will haunt you forever but you pray it won't.

You feel as if you have no reason to make any goals other than regaining your health, and the idea of trying to work your way back to where you once were feels like it's not even worth the challenge.

The feeling of hopelessness crosses over you again and again… and still you sit. Waiting and working for the day that you can worry no more.

But then... the day comes. And the day will come. Soon you will feel on top of the world once again. The passion will return. You will return. So watch out world cause the fire has returned.

The passion has returned. You are now stronger mentally and physically and you will never be defeated again!
