No title
For most of my life, I was never really ambitious. I didn't think I could do something that would create an impact, or be important. For most of my life, I felt like a side character, a ghost in the background of people's stories. I had no story of my own. I would watch people- friends, and family talk about their achievements and life experiences and I would look at myself and feel blank.
This distance I felt from myself and the world around me left me hollow. I felt like an old stuffed toy left in the corner of a child's room, to forever collect dust.
I wish I could connect to the girl I was back then—to the girl who was 12 years old, 11 years old, and who felt like she had no significance.
It's a little painful to recall to back in those moments and feel nothing. I am still stuck there, in that moment in time, frozen.
