You make me feel so free. Once I started playing volleyball, I knew there was no going back. You were and always will be my first true love. Despite the days where I’m not performing my best or I hit a little too hard, the court is always the place I’ll go to feel better. No matter who comes and goes, you will always be there, which you have shown me on multiple occasions. Through all the times I was stressed about school, all the times I was dealing with family issues, all the times I was irritated, all the times I couldn’t find the words to express my feelings, all the times I was in arguments with my significant other, and the time you-know-who broke up with me, you were there. You were there and I was able to work through all those feelings without even having to speak. All I had to do was play my sport. For that I’ll forever be grateful for, because you have proved time and time again that no matter what goes on in my life, you will be there. The world looks in and just sees this as another sport. Some even say it’s not considered a real sport, just one for girls to look pretty. They look in and see another thing for entertainment or pretty females. However, for the girls on the court it is so much deeper than the social and entertainment aspect. You have made my life shift for the better and in return I’ll forever show my gratitude and dedication. All the early mornings, long car rides, late nights, bruises, bad games, and lost points mean nothing because of what you have done for me. They will forever be something that I complain about, but that’s because at the end of the day I’m just a girl. Thank you for all of the healing you have done, even though you weren’t the reason for the damage, not a single time. Thank you for bringing out the best in me. Thank you for bringing out the little girl Amaia, who hasn’t been broken by life yet. Thank you for being my safe space. Your consistency in my life has been the best part about living.
Thank you, Volleyball.
With Much Love,
Amaia Cornute
