Everton vs Arsenal (19/03/2016)

Now, how do I start?

Let me start by saying, I've been on a hiatus. From the love of my life, Everton. I thought that I should distract myself with something else so I won't get disappointed every weekend by them. I thought I could just leave and walk away. I thought I could move on.

But I couldn't.

How do you describe your love for a football club? How can you describe your love for a football club? Honestly, I don't know. I don't know why I keep coming back, loss after loss. And no matter how far I run, I always find myself looking behind me, subtly checking on them. Quietly making sure they're still keeping their head above the water. Silently praying the tables will turn sooner or later. Forcing myself to believe that things will get better. But as a 19 year old Evertonian, I'm tired of this. I've never seen Everton win a trophy in my life. I'm tired of waiting, tired of hoping, tired of this emotional roller coaster that I have to go through every other day.

But that's the thing you see. They let me down all the time, and yet I come back for more one week later. Why? I don't know.

I'll be back again though. I will.
