Swimming use to be my life.

Well, until I got pneumonia.

One Thursday after swim practice, I was feeling nauseous and I was so, so tired.

I made it into the house and into the downstairs bathroom before puking.

I threw up, everything I ate that day, into the toilet.

I watched it flush down, and I started to cry.

I thought it was just the stomach flu, but no, it really wasn't.

I never did swim team ever since.

I started playing club soccer instead.

But you, you played soccer because you liked it.

I didn't like playing it. I played because my mother made me.

I liked to win, though.

It didn't matter what it was.

I liked to win.

Everything.
