Friend, friend! Didcha know? Winter Olympics're here! Ooor do ya even care, haha. It 'kay if ya do or don't, each to their own I say!
Me, I'm a bit of an Olympics buff. I love the buffet of sports we'll be catered to for the next coupla weeks~
It makes me think of the very first Olympics I remember well: Nagano 1998. Teach' brought a TV in the classroom 'n' we watched Mika Myllylä killin' it in cross-country skiin'.
Mika... He became an icon of sorts for the li'l me y'know. Photo of him trainin' in the bog still sends chills down me spine – jus' like 28 years ago.
Both in inspirin' 'n' cautionary lesson way.
Inpirin': Temper yerself in the worst case scenario, 'n' ya'll be more than ready to take on the actual scenario! Persevere, 'n' ya'll get stronger! It's hard, but keep goin'! Ya probably see 'em inspirations in my energy, yea?
Here's the cautionary lesson tho: The less things ya got to live for, the more ya risk losin' yerself. In the 2000s, a dopin' scandal stopped Mika's career. He never recovered from dat. Competitive skiin', it was the only thing he lived for.
Funny how ya can see 'em both. Maybe it jus' me tho... Rise 'n' fall, in a photo taken in 1997. From time before Mika captured my heart at the Olympics.
So... Friend. I hope ya havin' good stuff in yer life. Or buildin' sum for yerself.
I hope ya got the courage to take on the challenges comin' yer way. It'll make ya stronger, trust me.
I know ya can do it!
Jus' like Mika hip-deep in the bog.
