Chelsey

So, here's another random thought I had. In fact, it's more like a rant. But, that's how I work.

It's strange how I was given two things that could really get me somewhere, which are hight and a strange knack for memorizing words to songs really quickly and for a long time. Somehow, those two things make no difference whatsoever because of two other things.
Hight: Okay, it's not that in sports I'm afraid to get hurt. It happens all the time. But for some reason, I'm really afraid to hurt other people. I can't live with it. In other words, I hardly ever use my hight to my advantage because I'm afraid.
Memorization of songs: I can't sing. Sure, I like to sing. However, simply put, I do not like the way my voice sounds if I have to hear it. And, sure, people tell me, "Your voice is fine, Chelsey". Okay, it's fine. But never has someone said they actually like it. It's always "Fine".

That would be my rant. I won't need another one of those for a while, I hope.
