BAM, the Miami Heat have won the NBA championship with 4 straight wins.
BAM, my exams are over.
BAM, the semester is over.
Everything is changing so fast, it's hard for me to keep up.
It feels like i've only put my head down for just a second, and the next time i look up, my entire surrounding has changed. Relationships have changed. People have changed. I have changed.
Although i've always had a intense dislike for Lebron James, i'm truly happy for him. I think he deserved to win this championship. For all the shit that he gets, he's put up some amazing numbers this postseason. You gotta hand it to the guy, he's good. His journey to his first NBA championship title has been rather remarkable, and i can't help but feel inspired by his story. He is someone who has endured countless failures and setbacks. He's shouldered a lot of criticisms, hatred, and pressures from the public. Yet despite such a heavy burden, he has managed to claw his way back from a shattering defeat last year to clinch the title. His spirit, his will, and his tenacity in the face of such insurmountable odds is really something to be admired.
The Thunders loss and the Heats win has made me realise how fine the line between failure and success is. Its made me realise that failure doesn't necessarily mean you are completely inadequate, for Kevin Durant has put up just as good a performance. Failure doesn't make me a worse person. It doesn't mean I will fail at life. In fact, the bitter taste of failure will only make me stronger. At the end of the day (or season should i say), i think we can all take a leaf out of Lebrons book. I want to become someone like him. Someone who can come back from a defeat that might've destroyed a lesser man, and triumph over it through hard work and dedication. I believe that through strength of will, i will be able to succeed one day too, just like him. I have failed many times before, made many mistakes. But now i know it is possible to win. If i can overcome my flaws and persevere, i can become a champion one day too.
It has been a tough semester i have to say, maybe the toughest i've been through. I've fallen to the ground many times, but somehow i've managed to pick myself back up and pushed onwards. In a way, im glad that everything that has happened, has happened. It has shaped me into a stronger, more independent person. I know now, what i am capable of. The fear, the doubt, the uncertainty, its all still there. Its never going to go away. But i feel like i can embrace them a little more.
I look forward to the challenge that semester 2 will present. I look forward to studying harder, and getting even better grades. I look forward to fully realising my full potential. And i look forward to surviving, by myself. What they say is true: what doesn't kill you can only make you stronger.
