Ah, December. Glorious December.
What a beautiful month, right? There’s a chill in the air.
The sun’s in a jovial mood, warm and cozy. After an excruciating year,
everyone’s slowing down, taking a breather, reflecting on the past 11 months.
What’s not to like about December?
Yet, Lionel Messi just had to go and make it better.
“Trust this team,” he promised, “we will not let you down.”
And he embarked on a life-altering journey, immortalizing
this last month of the year for millions of us across the globe.
A year ago, today, Lionel Messi conquered the world and
sparked off days of frenzied celebrations, from Buenos Aries to Mangaldoi.
Tears. Cheers. Joy. We painted the world Albiceleste blue. And Peter Drury
immortalized the moment with his iconic words:
“But as he falls in love with the object in the world
that his heart most desired,
it is hard to escape the supposition
that he has
rendered himself today the greatest of all time.”
A year ago, on this day, this picture came into existence,
the one that sits on my study table and assures me that this moment did come
true. It reminds me, every day, every moment, not to give up on my dreams. For
it is enough to rinse every disappointment, every drought, every sadness in the
world.
Year after year, every year, this day shall arrive for
us to celebrate, to revel in the little pleasures of life. When the going gets
tough and the nights refuse to cease, this surreal day in December will help
weather the storms.
Thank You, Lionel.
This day, every year, we shall celebrate, forever.
