He chose my best friend over me!! .
I had a huge crush on this guy when I was in grade 11, we hung out all the time, flirted, and spent countless hours laughing together. That’s what boys do when they like you right?! .
I’d like to think I was in pretty good shape at the time and took care of myself. .
Although I stopped playing sports, I walked to school most days. Spent my time rolling bladding around the neighbourhood where we lived. I thought I had it all together, until my best friend showed up .....
.
I moved away from my whole life! The basketball / volleyball court, badminton, you name the sport and I was there. I had the best group of friends and life ever! Until my world came crashing down .......
.
We were forced to move to a brand new place where I knew nobody! I was super grateful to have my brother around, so I at least got to hang out with him and his friends. .
But it was fxcking hard!!!! .
I gave up my whole life and the activities I loved. Everyone who played on the sports team knew each other, and was in great shape. .
By this time I was smoking at least a pack of cigarettes every couple days. I thought I was fitting in, and looked good! .
It wasn’t until my best friend showed up......
.
She spent the whole summer with us, and we had a blast!! She gave me all the latest gossip about our hometown, filled me in on all her marathon runs and sport team wins that semester.
.
She was someone I admired and looked up to. She was fit, and popular, and left with everything I was suppose to have. .
So, remember that guy I told you about that I liked? Well it turned out he didn’t like me after all, when he met my best friend, he chose her! 😔 .
I can be a vengeful person! I took that personally and when I want something I don’t stop until I achieve it!! .
I remember how shitty I felt that day. I had a choice to stay the same and let that shit defeat me, or do something about it! .
I chose to embark on my journey to be better! I remember going home that night and telling myself “one day he will be sorry, and realize what he missed out on.” .
