Oh boy, let's talk about balls!! Not about the men's nuts, but about sports balls!! So, to clarify all of you who doesn't hang with me in real life, im afraid of balls, I mean, afraid is a soft word, I have phobia of balls, not when they're on the ground tho, I can play football no problem, the thing is: I don't like when they're on the air :( I tried to find the name for this phobia I didn't found anything about it except some Reddit posts talking about the same thing that I feel and have. (By the way, those things are: shivering when seeing the ball getting close to you in the air, having super quick reflexes dodging the balls, fearing that the ball will hit you in the head so much of the reflexes that you have is protecting your head and so on) So, now that everything is clarified I will talk now about my dear of balls and when and how it began. :D
It was probably my second year of school, I don't remember well, but it was probably it. My old school had a really weird playground (which I tried to replicate with some drawing tools, and don't expect the drawing to be some masterpiece) and this is a really close draw of the real playground!

So, as you can see with my spectacular draw abilities, *cough* *cough*, in the middle there's the football camp, the black blocks with the white stripes is some stairs :D, the orange block is my friends and I time machine, the brown-ish part is a weird rail and the grey part next to the football camp is the slide and a monkey bar.
So, close to the monkey bar area, Is where I have my last memory before having the fear of balls... I don't know why but, I remember volunteering myself to let someone shoot a ball aiming for my head... Now that I think about it, maybe I was a masochist since I knew that was going to hurt but I did it anyway, I don't know why but I just remember crying a lot (I was in second year, give me a break) and then after that, I started having a huge fear for balls! I also remember that the football camp was a DANGER ZONE!!! The probabilities of getting it by one ball inside of that field was 69%, like, it was most certain that you were going to have a new head inside of that field!!
Also, me and my best friend, back then, were already hit by that ball one time at least!! I remember me and my friend running from the slide area, for the classroom because it already rang but the kids were still playing football so we ran to the other side safely but my friend forgot his coat in the slide so he turned back, he was running through the camp and then...

He got hit by the ball and I laughed a lot :DDDDDD It was super funny and after like 30 seconds of him on the ground, I went to help him, the kids playing football just let him be :/ I was also hit by the ball in that camp one time but I just remember seeing all blurry and my friend laughing a lot!! :D
So, taking all that to the days of today, I have a terrible fear of balls, sometimes I'm in my new school camp and I hear a really loud noise of a ball getting kicked really hard and I jump looking for the ball in the air, if the ball is going to reach me or to hurt me I know, having phobia of balls is weird af but I don't know!! Even the internet don't know!! :/
Well this was the chapter where I talk about my most old fear, I hope you liked it, and have a great night, day, evening and a great first of April :D (Even though it's first of April, everything I said here it's true :3)
A meme a day, gives a smile to your brain :3
