The Kick Drop

The Kick Drop

n.
the moment you wake up from an immersive dream and have to abruptly recalibrate to the real world—unquitting your job, falling right back out of love, reburying your lost loved ones.

In American football, the drop kick is when a player drops the ball and kicks it as it bounces off the ground, used as a method of restarting play.
