I've been somewhat obsessed with Haikyuu lately and it made be wonder how would it be like to be part of a sports team.
Believe it or not, I was pretty sporty when I was a kid. I used to run a lot, used to play some basketball (or at least just trying to get the ball to go into the hoop). Getting gold in napfa was a breeze (heh). We used to have this system in primary school where you could loan sports equipments during recess, and I always asked for a basketball. Yeaaa I liked basketball then hahaha. I think I probably indicated my interest to join thr basketball club somewhere cause I remember being approached by the teacher who was quite impressed by my standing broad jump scores.
But in the end, I didn't.
And now I wonder what would have been different if I joined the club. Would I have continued the sport in secondary school? Maybe I would have been a little taller. Maybe I would have been more confident and outspoken. Maybe thinner, healthier. Or I could have been benched the entire time for being so bad at it. Who knows haha.
Either ways, I don't regret the decisions I've made. After this path closed, I joined band. I learnt how to play a new instrument, with a group of people. It's still a 'team' in a sense. I got to do something that I loved. Those moments are always cherished and held close to my heart. Us singing out our parts in class while waiting for band practice. Feeling really dead on saturday mornings before drills. Performing together and enjoying the post concert high. Crying together when we found out that Mr Tan was leaving. Crying together when we won gold during SYF. Making music together.
Still, I wonder...
