Advice is a Dangerous Security

“You are a great soccer player!” You play till your body breaks.

“Blue is your color, girl!” You wear nothing else.

“You have a spark that radiates, that is so special!” You better not lose that.

I took your advice. I played so hard I can never play again. Blue is so ugly now. My spark fizzled out. Who am I now?

A volleyball-playing, green-wearing, basic girl.

Who is she?

She isn’t me.
