Still Me On The Inside

This story is not about being the best player on the field. It's about loving something deeply, losing it in the noise of judgment, and finding it again in a quieter place. Still Me on the Inside explores how passion can change when it's put under pressure - and how sometimes, stepping away isn't quitting, but protecting what matters most. The story moves between grades and moments on purpose, to show the contrast between when football felt free and when it stopped feeling like home. This is a story about football, yes - but more than that, it's about identity, belonging, and learning that loving something doesn't mean loving every version of it. I don't know where this love will take me next. Only the future can tell.
