Hello kool kats, I haven't really told anyone this but I've been thinking for quite a while perhaps I should stop playing netball. I've been playing for almost 9 years and I've known people who have pursued netball for over 20 years without their passion diminishing. The sport somehow comes with an edge of competitiveness. With competition, pressure and expectations are inevitable. Those two might mould someone but it doesn't work on me. Its demanding in all aspects like physically and emotionally. I hate expectations because I'm afraid of failing people, I'm afraid of disappointment as much as I'd like to do my best.

Netball used to be a platform for me, a platform for achievements because it's one of the few things I can excel in apart from art. When I get on court and start playing, it feels like I'm disconnected from reality. Netball has brought me to places, allowed me to discover things about myself I never would have and built new friendships with the most amazing people. I perpetually grew up with it. Undeniably, I can never imagine where I'd be if I wasn't playing netball in Sneakers but lately it feels like it's something I want to get out of but I cannot find any valid reason to do so. I'm just sick of it to my bones, that's all.

I'm sorry if any of you think that I'm not making the best out of the opprtunity that I'm given but for now, I'm just crossing my fingers for my future in NAFA, have a great time in it, have a fun part-time job, spend meaningful quality time with San, my wonderful friends and family. Nothing more, nothing less.
Maybe I'm just fucking hum ji that I'll fucking die on court once Os are over, just maybe.


(Probably the reason why I'd stay)

Not only your dear netballer team mates would disagree, if the netball courts, especially at Corporation Primary School could scream, it would yell, "Don't give up".
Netball is like more than your best friend.When you were upset, where you go to confide?
You went to shoots the ball.. That netball post indirectly that inspires, motivate.. 9 years. Consider. Not 9 mins, 9 days or 9 mths... Don't give up on your goal.
It truly upset me.
