I haven't tasted such a bitter feeling of defeat for so long.
I cried. We all did.
Months and months of training, for this day. Countless friendlies fought on weekends, countless trainings under the sun.
And i finally know what the seniors mean, when they say they have been waiting for this day for so long. Years and years.
It's so painful.
But all of us must move on. There will always be even greater challenges awaiting us in the future. There will be bigger opponents, tougher fights everywhere in our lives. It's too early to give up.
We had been too overdependent on our seniors, who never failed to turn the tide for us. Now we must lead ourselves. i will have to grow and strengthen as well.
Yida and everyone gave a good closure to our softball year. We are, and still will be a team. A great team.
And someday when we look back on this softball finals on the 31st.Jan.09, it would have become a deeply precious memory for all of us.
...
There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.
