hmm...i think i just realized that i'm running in the wrong race. or something like that. i just looked up and noticed that all i can see are the backs of everyone else's heads. and my illusions were dashed...i suddenly realized that i'm NOT the popular favorite (like i thought), but i'm actually the underdog. so why even give my best until the end if it's obvious i'm gonna lose? i might as well save my energy for something else.

let's just say i've let my heart go somewhere i guess it shouldn't have. and now it seems that the best thing to do would be to pull it out of the fight while it's still got a chance to heal.

most of the time, i'm not one to compete. if fulfilling my dreams means stepping on someone else's, i'll be the one to step aside. in some areas of life, competing for something is just plain stupid. "if you love something, let it go. if it comes back to you, it's yours to keep. if not, it was never really yours to begin with." whoever said that was a genius.

or maybe it's just that i'm not very good at saying what i want to. maybe i just don't have any self-confidence. who knows? i don't. and i think i'll go sit on the bench now.
