Offseason Point Task - 25th Anniversary Special

[IsaStarcrossed]

It is honestly hard for me to get my head around what this league really means to me. I've been here for well over a year now and while this league has had its ups and downs in my life, I keep coming back to it. No matter how frustrated I get and no matter how much I joke about quitting, I continue to come back time and time again. I even took some time away at one point and ended up dragging myself back. I didn't just drag myself back, but I even convinced my girlfriend to journey into this league with me. For the longest time I couldn't place my finger on it. I really couldn't decipher what it was that brought me back even when at times it got me down to the point that I considered removing it from my life completely. It wasn't until Schwarz joined up and I saw her interacting with the league that I really began to get a grasp on things.

It is the people. The people in this league is why I keep coming back. The friends you make along the way and even the people who you don't consider yourself that close to. The fact is this is a hobby for all of us. Its something we're all passionate about, something we all have come to love. We may disagree from time to time, we may blow up in huge fights that last days, we may even hold grudges at times but it is because we all care. We care about this league because to many of us it has become home. It is filled with people we love to talk to. It is filled with the stuff we love to talk about. We tend to be surrounded with like minded people and for the most part we all want the same thing. We just want this league to be better. We want it to be successful.

In that sense we've created kind of a family atmosphere. An atmosphere where most anyone is welcome, where anyone can find their own little corner, their own niche and fit in. Yes we disagree often, yes we get angry at each other. At the end of the day though, that is what families do. Eventually you realize its the people you care about that keep you coming back. I've met some absolutely incredible people in this league. I've met a ton of people I'd kill to sit and chill with some time. Maybe have a drink, maybe have a dinner and just hang out. At this point there are far too many to mention, but I do hope I one day get a chance to meet them all because that is what this league has become to me and what it means to me. A family.
