With basketball being one of the more popular sports in the world, for some people it is their life. Whenever they get out on the court and out shooting hoops they can forget anything that is going on in their life and just connect with themselves. I’ve been playing basketball since about 6th grade and I started late compared to other kids where they’ve played since they was able to walk, but I’ve really debuted my life to trying to make college ball. With this being said I used for my first of three blog posts which is called “Dear Basketball”. Which is a poem by Kobe Bryant used to tell everyone he is retiring and give them something to remember. For Kobe basketball was his life and he spent everyday trying to be the best player ever. Also even when he was young he made his life basketball from the second he watched it on tv. With this and a lot of kids basketball is their life and they strive to be as good or even half as good as Kobe Bryant. For my second blog post I picked my abstract image post which many would ask why would you choose this? It’s way of moving around in the image shows just how fast life can go and how quickly we can lose the thought of time. When our lives are moving so fast we can get lost in the commotion and forget to just settle down for a bit. Settling down can help us connect more with ourselves and with life and not let it get taken away so fast. With me I connect to this because I love a busy life where there aren’t many times to just sit back and relax, but when I find the time to just lay back it really helps me to connect back to myself and not get lost in the business. Lastly connecting to ourselves also helps us connect to our families more, because when we are able to tap into ourselves it lets our true self come out and not get trapped in a cluster of things on our table. Lastly I picked my “5 song playlist”. The 5 song playlist can go a lot of different ways for people, it can have someone who just listens to them, connects to them emotionally, or someone who really understands what the song is talking about. The last option are the people that have lived the lives the songs are talking about. Again some people just listen to the songs cause they sound good and all but the people that really touch to it are the people that can really grow as far as they want. When you are able to touch to a song it can make you happier than ever because you listening to YOUR life and the life YOUR living. With this playlist it has 5 different songs that have life in their title but also talk about life altogether. With each on being different it can connect to a different person letting it be a powerful 5 song playlist for anyone. For me personally I can connect to all the songs individually because I can understand what each of them are trying to express to show. If it’s the Life is Good song by Drake expressing the people that go through the daily 9-5s and how other people are also going through what their going, or the song It’s My Lite by Bon Jovi which when it was released everyone was able to connect to it because it talked about everyone’s lives they were living. In conclusion, life is a strong subject that people need to grasp onto. If people are able to connect to their lives and what they believe and want, anything is possible. Like the known saying- if you put your mind to it, it will happen- it gives opportunity and really shows what someone know about their life and others around them.
