We Want It All šŸ¦

I don’t even know how to describe what I’m feeling right now. I’m excited, exhausted, and hanging on by a thread.Ā 

The Blue Jays are going to the World Series, baby!!!!

Ever since near the end of the regular season, I swear my heart’s been pounding out of my chest. But no matter what, I keep coming back for more—night after night.

These past few weeks have been insane. I’ve been on the edge of my seat, yelling at the TV, looking away during every opposing at-bat, and holding my breath at every pitch thrown to one of our guys, praying thisĀ next one might change the game. And last night, it did just that and more.Ā 

I know I’m not alone. Millions of fans across the country are feeling just as shaky, hyped up, anxious, exhausted, and borderline delirious as I am.

And it’s not just excitement—it’s a full-body, emotionally draining, high-stakes rollercoaster.

The truth is, my anxiety doesn’t need any help. I’m already out here hanging on by a thread most days. But this? This has been next level. My chest tightens, my stomach’s in knots, and my heart races well after the final out, leaving me unable to sleep.

But I love it. I really do. I’ve been a loyal fan since long before they last won the World Series. I love this team. I love their fight. I love that they’ve made us believe again, especially after finishing dead last just a year ago. I love that this kind of stress means “we”Ā made it, that we’re hereĀ after 32 years, and that we finally have something this big to hope for again.

The tears of joy, the elation, the sheer adrenaline? It’s worth it.

And I know I’ll keep doing it until this thing is over (in four games, šŸ™), because this is what being a fan means: loving something so much it literally hurts.

So yeah, I’m tired. I’m wired. I’m anxious as hell. My eyes were burning all day from exhaustion, but I’ve never been prouder to be a Blue Jay’s fan. It’s such a feeling of community. And at least we’ve got a few days’ reprieve until the World Series kicks off Friday night.

Let’s have some more Springer Dingers. Let’s have some more Joe Carter moments. Let’s finish this and bring it home, boys.
