It's not about the money, but it was never about the money. I'm not a gold-digger. I don't want to be rich, or drive a cadillac SUV, or live in a large suburban house with a white picket fence. In fact, I want almost the oposite. If I could live anywhere, I would live in Boston, Mass. I would inhabit a condo with a large tinted window facing Fenway Park. I would travel -- be a doctor, an FBI or CIA agent, be in the Navy; I would still be learning how to settle down and overcome my "jet-setter" reputation.
If it's not about about the money, what is it about? Why pursue the title of "trophy wife" to the general public? Just like it's important to know that it's not about the money, it must be understood taht I will not be pursuing the title of trophy wife. MLB wife, yes, trophy? I'm not wall decoration or a token of victory. In fact, it's quite the opposite -- he will be my token of victory, but never (okay, seldom) will I treat him as a trophy.
Finally, it is crucial to understand that at the moment i'm 16 years old, going into Junior year. My goal, this goal, the only one set in sstone. This will be a true test of my skill to really, get what I want. It's not the nature of a spoiled child, it's this drive called determination and fucking competition. This is an ultimate test that begins today. Today, I am a 16 year old teenage girl, in love with Jon Lester, the 26 year old cancer beating, world champion, no-hitter starting pitcher of the Boston Red Sox. Today, I love Buster Posey, the San Fraancisco Giants rookie. Today, I admire Daniel Nava, the rookie who refused to give up and hit a grand slam for the Red Sox his first MLB pitch.
Today, it's about Barry Zito, Josh Beckett, Aubrey Huff, Kevin Youkilis, Freddy Sanchez, Andres TOrres, and Madison Bumgarner. Today, it's the SF Giants and the Boston REd Sox. This is day ONE of my pursuit to sit in the wives section of the baseball park.
Tomorrow? Who knows where I"ll be, 5 years, 10 year from now. When i'm 26 Will I be sitting in the dugout? We'll see. But it begins, today.
