Is it really important for the European Tour 2026 to address deep personal matters?
Yes—absolutely, unequivocally so. In fact, it is essential.
Without those “wrongly timed” decisions—decisions made hastily, without reflection, and without even the courtesy of a proper conversation—there would be no European tour. There would be no music. There would be no “real life.” However, living someone else’s life, wishes, and dreams is over, effective immediately—and I could not be happier about that.
When the moment arrives in which a person no longer appreciates, cares for, or respects what you do to create success within a household; how much you support—financially, emotionally, physically; how much you invest in effort, energy, and passion; how much you organize—training sessions, trials, music lessons; and how much you sacrifice—life, time, patience—then you know, without question, that it is finally time to begin turning one of your childhood and teenage dreams into reality.
Understand this: a man was pushed out after fifteen years, leaving behind children—the oldest not yet ten years old—and one of the explanations given was, quite literally, “He didn’t take out the recycling.”
Generally speaking, the solution to such a problem is remarkably simple: you tell him that if he does not take out the recycling, he will not be getting () for a week. I am fairly certain that under such circumstances, every man would ensure the recycling is taken out three times a day.
Since () has not been available for the past five years—at least not to me—I believe I can reasonably be forgiven for lacking motivation to take out the recycling on a regular basis.
The other reasons were just as pathetic, ridiculous, and quite frankly, idiotic and stupid.
The real problem, however, is this: if you give a man who loves to think—and who often overthinks—the opportunity to be alone, strip him of purpose, and remove the only three people he has ever truly loved, you can be absolutely certain that he will think more, overthink even further, and make decisions that are not easy to adjust to.
Without dwelling on the past any further:
“You made a decision, dear—deal with it.”
And gusch.
