Returning to the UK hits me like a shock wave. The abrupt transition from the sunny landscapes of Los Angeles to the darkened reality of London is almost disorientating. The contrast is so stark that I wonder if I've landed on an entirely different planet. Looking back, the decision to get on that plane seems bittersweet—a leap into a dream that now seems far away. The vividness of my experiences in the United States clashes with the banal familiarity of my surroundings. It's like leaving a perfect daydream to embrace the mundane routine of reality once again. I wonder if the radiant happiness I felt amid the excitement of the game and the players will find its place in this more subdued setting.
