Where do I see myself in 10 years?

Doing very much the same thing I am now, except back to writing full-time. That’s my hustle right now: getting enough books under my belt that I can make it my full-time job. I might even go back to doing client work if I could write full-time. I’d have the energy and space to do it. ‘t would be amazing.

The Warriors lost the game they needed to win in order to avoid the play-in. So…for the third straight year, they’re a play-in team. Sigh.

I have reason to believe they’ll actually WIN the game this year and be the 7-seed, which isn’t the end of the world…but it was a let-down, y’all. They had a stated goal, and they didn’t achieve it. That’s…I’m not used to that with this team. It feels like a sign of decline. I had belief in this team after they signed Butler. Even just a week ago, when they steamrolled the Grizzlies, Nuggets and Lakers, it was like…damn. This team might actually have the juice to go all the way.

And then they lost to Houston.

And then they lost to the Spurs.

And today, they lost to the Clippers, who they haven’t beaten in years, now. And all that juice I thought they had feels like it’s very fragile. We feel vulnerable. This last week, the NBA has hit us back and we haven’t recovered. Even though Steph and Jimmy were both great today, we couldn’t pull it out. We didn’t execute down the stretch, even though we had the opportunity to. And that’s just not something I’m used to seeing from this team. At least not once Butler came and rejuvenated us. It feels like maybe we aren’t actually contenders. We’ll see. Might be an overreaction. If they win the play-in game, and then handily beat Houston, I might believe again. We’ll see how that series goes, if we can get into it. But, yeah…the 7-seed. Not great.

Bummed me out today. Let it get to me a little bit. I just want to see Steph get one more, you know? One more.

Night night.
