A Journal : The Simple Pleasures

 April 25, 2024

Dear Journal, 

In the hustle of life, It's the simple things that often bring the most joy. Today, I want to reflect on two roles that define me being a simple son and a basketball player.

As a son , I find comfort in the ordinary moments at home. It's in the shaped meals, the quiet support, and the unspoken understanding between me and my parents. There's a beauty in this simplicity, a rhythm to our daily lives that feels like a gentle heartbeat.

I appreciate that small gestures my mother's knowing smile when I'm up tp something, my father's subtle nod of approval when i fix something around the house. These are the threads that weave the fabric of our family together . Especially to my two sisters who always been there to support me in any achievements of my life.

Then there's a basketball the sound of the bouncing ball on the court, the swish of the net, together with my teammates. It's more than just a game Its dance of discipline, focus, and passion.

On the court, I'm free. Free to chase the ball, to strategize, to push my limits. Each game is a lesson in teamwork and trust. And when i score a basket, It's not just points on the board, It's a moment of pure elation.

At the intersection of these two worlds, I find my balance. My family cheers from the sidelines, their support fueling my drive. And when I come home, tired  but triumphant, It's their warmth that wraps around me like a victory hug.

Being a son and basketball player may seem like ordinary roles to some, but to me. They're the essence of who I am. They teach me about love, dedication, and the beauty of living a simple, yet fulfilling life.

Until next time again,

Cris
