I know the title might seem a little silly, but it’s important to me, at least.
Even though the parade and game today definitely exhausted me, I think today’s sudden wave of emotions after so long of nothing was in no small part due to seeing my high school winter guard coach again (he is as much of a father figure to me as my own dad which means a lot bc i live laugh love my dad) and singing the KKPsi hymn in rapid succession. So much connection with people that actually care and being able to realize that they do, actually, care because they can, not because they have to, just set everything into place.
I think the hymn will hold a very special place in my heart, even if it’s just because this was my first genuine time being a part of it. There’s something so hauntingly beautiful about it, especially when sung with others, that videos and transcriptions cannot even begin to convey.
Tonight was certainly a night to remember, at least for me. I miss my coach and KKPsi already, but I feel way more connected than I did even a couple hours ago.
Be hopeful.
