#her struggles.. i am not a superstar athlete but i can relate i’m sorry ✋

[ccfever]

anyway after reading that piece... i really do believe that when cc says she wants her legacy to be her impact on young kids and the joy they’ve brought to people... she means that shit. once you get to where she is... with all the trophies she’s held and praises she’s received... you want more and more until you start asking yourself why you want it in the first place. and your reasons just start to sound so hollow. she also mentioned banners gathering dust and time eventually dulling all the achievements. one thing time doesn’t dull and actually sweetens is the good memories and emotions of the past. you can hold on to that being your legacy. it gives you a real reason that can’t be tarnished by debates and the faulty memories of people who’ll replace you with someone new as soon as your time is up.
