Every time I want to get my mind off of things or I just want to release my stress I always go to the same place that I was introduce to as a young boy. My second home and the place I envision where I go see my psychologist. The soccer field; its soil is very dry in the times of summer you have twenty two players running back and forth the soccer field. Every player gives it their all in this big outlined white box. The grass is short and there are many players that fall during the game and get bruises, or many, get scratches on their body. There are people that work on the field to keep the grass green and in good conditions. There are happy, sad, angry and different types of other moods on the field as soon as the game ends. You can feel the tension on the field and the passion for the sport when all the people and their families surround the white outlined soccer field. Many players have kicked the dirt or the grass on the field when they miss a shot.
The soccer field to me is like a sponge because it has absorbed all types of mood when it comes to an intense game or a final. The soccer field has always been there when there is a final and when a team loses there has been tears of players left behind, there has been arguments left behind and many other unsatisfactory moments. On the other hand there has been exciting moments and many happy moments left behind that would stay at the field. The soccer field is like the office where I go see my psychologist because there are times where I am angry, disappointed or if I just feel stressed out. Well if I feel in any unpleasant mood I would always be found in this place full of dirt, grass, dry or muddy place depending on the conditions of the field. I would step on to the field and let my feelings out while playing soccer.
Now as I pass by some of these soccer fields I see many toddlers and children of different ages getting in the field and now they are going to experience similar experiences like I did. To some of these kids the soccer field is going to be like their second home or the office to see their psychologist. Other people might see the soccer field as an insignificant place, but I see it as a second home and the office where I go see my psychologist. As a young adult I still and I will always go back to the soccer fields where the dirt is moist or dry and whether there is grass or dirt because it has memorable events that I would cherish for a long time. The soccer field has the beautiful sport of soccer, where soccer is the only love that does not let you down.
