dreams and dreams that fail :(

from childhood when I was 9 years old, I started to love this sport of football.
from the beginning I aspire to become a professional footballer.
as time went on, the ideals that I dreamed began to fade away. either because of my lack of effort or fate that would not allow me to become a professional footballer.
I am very sad. until now the desire is still there.
but I know it's no longer possible, given my age and my stamina is not young anymore. I really hope. :(
