For those who follows or knows about soccer, have you ever wondered what it feels like to be a reserve goalkeeper? Like you're the second choice, and the first-team 'keeper's never injured or is just too good, so meaning, you'll never play! Well, I had the privilege of having this experience last year when I was the substitute goalie for SA (hockey, of course). Well, it wasn't the best feeling, always having to sit on the bench, not knowing what would happen or whether I'm just wasting my time and such, but at least I knew it was 'cos I was new, and the first choice was super good.
My point here is that playing second fiddle, or being a 'deputy' may not be such a bad thing. But in some other cases besides sport, it can seem really disgusting,
in my opinion. Well, what I mean is that people discriminate all the time, right? So they'll always have a mental list of favourites and they'll unconsciously just favour those they prefer. I don't know, I do this too, but I feel I don't do it to such a huge degree, at least not so obvious! It really sucks to know that you're second choice to some people, especially if you seem to think they're important.
Well I'm sorry, you're second choice's not staying.Hockey camp sucked. How I lasted the whole day of 3 hours training and a morning run with just 4 hours of sleep, is completely beyond me. The highlight was probably wrestling with Haqqim, and the highestlight was probably one time when I was washing my hands. ;)
I'm kinda sick of hockey now. Overkill just now.
Note to self: Being interested in those that have conflicting interest just isn't the way to go. Stop it!
Bye.
