Its early January, you see the call and your heart sinks and leaps in the same moment. You swore when it ended in heartache last year that never again. Never again would you put yourself through that hurt when all that hope and promise faded to nothing in a second, leaving you devastated.

But deep inside something flickers, you know nothing stirs that passion in you more than this. Maybe it's the memory of those endless summers of joy, those journeys together, those shared dreams and so much more, that has ingrained in you this strange impulse of duty.
Sure there were times when you questioned your sanity as to why you sacrifice so much but then those unique moments of elation seemed to forge bonds between you that would last a life time and made all that effort seem worthwhile. Everything seemed possible after those days, they had you walking on air and a deep sense of satisfaction in you took hold. Finally the pieces' were coming together and this would be your year. Yet time after time you've let yourself be fooled and it ended in broken dreams.
You know deep in your heart she will let you down again and again. False promises that she will amend her time keeping ways and won't keep you waiting on long summer days. Her ridiculous schedule never allowed you to plan your life and yet you held on in there. Even worse if you give her all the commitment she demands you still are not sure she will pick you.
Yet to this lonely impulse you wish to return to.
It's your first love, it's the GAA, it's a new season, answer the call.

Christ youse are harsh - a man opens up his heart about his feelings with his first post and he gets crucified. I for one say go for it, let it all out and never mind the begrudgers. Oh, and welcome to the board.

Nah, The only bad publicity is seeing your name in the obituary column. ODR could become a Hoganstand legend, never mind the begrudgers pal, keep posting, it's just a bit of fun. If you have something to say just say it.
Getting slagged is better than getting ignored, you sparked a bit of a reaction so well done on that.
