...sold my confidence for weakness. I sold my ability of intimidation for the inability to stand out and I sold myself for what I wanted to life. I keep trying to play a game with a rule book for a different game in my pocket. I've selected a position for a team that have yet to win and have come to the decision that the technique I thought would have me succeed is completely wrong entirely for me. I should leap when I duck, I should swig when I swag and I should listen to my instinct, my heart, my soul and not the coach. It's a realization a long time coming that will take me to the prize, and if for some reason my strength does not bring me through, the aching muscles, scabs and bruises will be well appreciated for what they truly are. This is the time to take notice of the opportunity you have before you, what you hold within you none others possess and should be enjoyed by the only one who can enjoy it because it is yours. You are the only one who can. It's yours and yours alone.

Author Guidance for this Story

a girl finding her place in the world, whatever that world is like, pretty open can be sci fi, but keeping introspective, can jump around in time or be a similar story about someone else, so keeping continuity through style and subject rather then character.

POSTING GUIDELINES

First off, if you don't understand how this all works, please check out our help page.
It should answer most of your basic questions.

All authors are responsible for their own content. We don't write this stuff. You do. So feel free to use a little adult humour, but please don't go overboard, or we'll have to flag the story as mature content.
Second, if you're adding a branch to an existing story, make sure that the new branches you create are individually appealing. This makes it easier to keep the storyline alive and kicking.
If you're writing a collaborative story, try not to write more than one or two segments of the same story at a time. It keeps the story fresher and funnier if you let others play along. :)
Posts need to be at least 140 characters long. That's about three average sentences, not too painful, but it prevents spamminess.
Finally, try not to kill off the main character in a story... at least, permanently. It can be pretty detrimental to the storyline — it's also useless, as someone is bound to revive the character.
If you find a problem somewhere, or see a bad posting, click the red report button on a story or user profile and report it to us!
Note: Please be careful if you spent a long period of time writing the same branch. It's entirely possible that someone else is completing the same branch as you, and in that case, since we don't lock posts while you edit, whoever posts first will "win" and you'll have to move your post elsewhere.
