Okay. I'm just going to say it. My dream scenario.
Bobby Webster sits down next to 3 vacant podium mics. He speaks for about 70 seconds. He brings out Kawhi Leonard.
Kawhi laughs. Says he's home. Says he chose Toronto. Says he's happy he's not coming back alone.
Kyle Lowry walks out. He says he's signing with Toronto. But not just for 1 day. He's signing for the full year.
But there's a third seat. And it's open. Kyle keeps looking over at the seat. It starts to get weird low key. Who are we waiting on?
Someone inevitably asks what made Kyle commit to a full season. He quips that he's glad someone finally asked. And he says "unfinished business"
And then DeMar walks out. And the entire media room is in shock. Samson is saying "Holy Cow". Doug is crying in the corner. Josh's head explodes. Grange tries to remain cool. Will is yelling "Is he the third man? Is he the third man".
Now. Raptors. Do this. Please. For the culture. And for the wrestling fan in me.
It's so selfish to enter someone's life, see that they're a loving, cheerful, and good person, and decide to ruin their peace because you haven't dealt with your own issues. Leave people alone if you have no intention of showing up with sincerity.
My bestie got a job that she wanted, has worked for and 1000% deserved. I’m so damn proud of her. Time and time again she pushed through and now I get to cheer her on in this new role & celebrate her! Our health care system is better with her in it. 🥹💛
I think I lost my spark. I don't talk as much anymore, I keep to myself, and I've mastered the art of distance. It's not that I'm mad or bitter. I just don't have the energy to show up the way I used to. Somewhere along the way, I slipped into this "I don't care" phase, ghosted people without meaning to, and became comfortable in my own silence. Maybe it's healing, maybe it's just exhaustion. Either way, I'm learning that sometimes, pulling away is part of finding yourself again
You don't always need words to understand your place in someone's life. Sometimes, the answer is hidden in what they don't do, the conversations they try to avoid, the distance they never make an effort to close and the silence they let grow without concern. Little by little, you start to realise that when someone truly values your presence, they don't watch things fall apart without trying. Because people make time, effort and space for what genuinely matters to them.
I can't believe there are people who act like they don't know what they have done, like nothing happened. As if they didn't caused pain, hurt, disrespect, damage and ruined someone's peace and mental health.
