Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 12 months ago in Poets History of Ronaldo
Ronaldo began his senior career with Sporting CP, before signing with Manchester United in 2003, winning the FA Cup in his first season. He would also go on to win three consecutive Premier League titles, the Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup; at age 23, he won his first Ballon d'Or. Ronaldo was the subject of the then-most expensive association football transfer when he signed for Real Madrid in 2009 in a transfer worth €94 million (£80 million). He became a key contributor and formed an attacking trio with Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale which was integral to the team winning four Champions League wins from 2014 to 2018, including La Décima. During this period, he won back-to-back Ballons d'Or in 2013 and 2014, and again in 2016 and 2017, and was runner-up three times behind Lionel Messi, his perceived career rival. He also became the club's all-time top goalscorer and the all-time top scorer in the Champions League, and finished as the competition's top scorer for six consecutive seasons between 2012 and 2018. With Real, Ronaldo won two La Liga titles, two Copas del Rey, four Champions Leagues, three UEFA Super Cups and three Club World Cups. In 2018, he signed for Juventus in a transfer worth an initial €100 million (£88 million), the most expensive transfer for an Italian club and for a player over 30 years old. He won two Serie A titles, two Supercoppa Italiana trophies and a Coppa Italia, became the inaugural Serie A Most Valuable Player and became the first footballer to finish as top scorer in the English, Spanish and Italian leagues. He returned to Manchester United in 2021, finishing his only full season as the club's top scorer, before his contract was terminated in 2022. In 2023, he signed for Al Nassr.
The Bridge and the Book
He had hit rock bottom. He had lost his job, wife, house, and dignity. He had nothing left to live for. He was ready to end it all.

I have always been fond of the phrase 'curiosity killed the cat,' but not for its cautionary tale. Instead, I admire the insatiable curiosity it alludes to - the same curiosity that led me to the door.
The Martian Cat
Chapter 1: The Fall Whiskers was a curious and adventurous cat, always eager to explore the red planet. Her sleek black fur shone in the Martian sunlight as she padded across the dusty terrain. She loved nothing more than to roam free, feeling the wind in her whiskers and the sand between her toes.
