It’s electrifying
It has everything a good field sport has with but more violence and athletes that are build like Greek gods.

As a sports journalist, covering rugby specifically, I’ve gotten used to professionalism being interpreted as a straight jacket for players when it comes to showing any real personality in the public eye.
It’s obviously different around the world, but that’s the case here in New Zealand, at least for men’s sport.
Women are doing things very differently, and holy moly is it refreshing.
I was at a women’s rugby final recently where the best Kiwi side faced the best Aussie team. The home team, the Blues, won a penalty early in the game - not a particularly pivotal penalty or overly impressive one, more technical - but the winger was so overjoyed for her team that she did a cartwheel.
It really was a bit of a profound reminder of the freedom we have in life.
Performing in a high-stakes game in front of a few thousand people, it takes a bit of empowering to really feel that comfortable, and that has always been the impression I get when hanging around the women’s teams. They empower each other to be themselves in an incredibly holistic way.
This player, Katelyn Vahaakolo, is one of the best players in the world with a huge fan base. For the fans, young and old, to see someone like her exercising her freedom in such a carefree and joyous way is exactly what we need more of from our role models.

I’m having so much fun watching these elite athletes battle it out. I’m laughing, I’m crying, I’m learning about the intricacies of BMX. I’ve watched many Olympics before of course but I feel something is happening to me and I’m deeply invested this time. Never have I watched rowing and cared, but this year?? I care.
Striving for excellence against the odds, comebacks that make me weep, feats of strength and endurance… humanity! What’s not to love!!!

We’re never too old, too late, too inexperienced or incapable. Nothing is embarrassing or weird. I didnt realize how much of everything I counted myself out of because of some anxiety or preconceived notion. It’s all made up, do everything and try it all. Nothing is beneath us and we are not beneath or above anything.

Really has romanticized life or at least added more value to small moments. I’m tryna “perfect days” in this bitch. Also recommend the movie perfect days it has not left my mind since I watched it a month ago.

All that you touch, you change.
All that you change, changes you.
the only lasting truth, is change.
God is change.
the book has such an interesting philosophy that it explores through a sci-fi world thats also feels so close to a possible reality. it’s an interesting read makes you think and sit on a lot of excerpts.
