"nice effort, kid"

first of all.. my name is abby; not kid. thanks
second, i'd just like to say that i've never been the best at anything.
i have my good aspects... but put it all together and i'm never the best.
clarinet player. softball player. field hockey player. singer. dancer. actor. writer. organizer. advice giver.

someone always tops me.
this sounds really selfish... but i'd like to be the best at something just once.

i'm tired of hearing "nice try" or "good effort"
the effort i put across is wayy more than the "best" person on the team or group or whatever.
but i can't ever be the best
or even good.

just decent.

moral of the story: sometimes my thoughts are selfish.
