Why Me?

I like to think of myself as a person who is friends with everyone. I think of myself as one of the nicest people you will ever meet. I don't really know what to write next about myself right now, because not much exciting has really happened to me. I am child of three and the youngest. I haven't accomplished much but I'm working on that one.

I love my sport and especially netball. I have been playing netball now for my 9th season this year. Just think of that, 9 whole years of my life since I was just 8 years old, revolved around netball, and up until this very day it still does! I like to think that I am fairly good at it and my dream would be to make the Australian team one day. I believe that if I keep trying to get towards my goals, I can do anything I want.

I also do little athletics. I have done this for 7 seasons now. Athletics is what keeps me fit over the summer and I love the throws as I am not a strong runner to be completely honest. I don't think I really want to be an athlete because I don't believe that I am good enough.

Last year, I got bullied a bit. This made my self confidence go down. This person really hated me. They hated me for pretty much no apparent reason. I had never done anything to them at all to deserve it. I'm the kind of person who hides all of their feelings, and locks it all up inside, rather than letting it out. I'm not very good at taking jokes from other people. I can give jokes but I can't take them back.

Sometimes I think I have something seriously wrong with me. Some days, I would wake up and decide not to go to school because I had a fear of people bullying me or judging me. I don't know why I felt this way but I just couldn't help it. These feelings I keep inside me. I am not a person to judge, and hey you know what they say you can't judge a book by its cover.

I can't remember a time where I was truly happy with myself. I don't mean the happiness of winning a race or blowing all of the candles out at your 10th birthday party, I mean true happiness. The happiness you feel when you just know. When you know that you can stop stressing about everyone around you and just let everything fall into place. The happiness where you can wake up and it's already there. The happiness that will always be there with you no matter what happens. Have you ever felt that happiness?...
