Mack
You ever feel guilty for having a slightly, tiny negative thought when
so much around you is going well? It’s a horrible feeling to be
thankful and happy yet have discontent growing roots in your veins.
I had so damn much going well for me. I’d excelled at school and had
finished my junior soccer season with some of the best stats. My window
for playing for the NSWL hadn’t closed yet, and if I continued my
workouts, I could be invited to play.
My social media following had quadrupled since my stats went up.
Young girls looked up to me at games. They wore my jersey and wanted my
signature. Me. Mackenzie Violet Mallinson. The school stores sold posters
with my face. They had giveaways with my uniform. My best friend Lorelei
and I were on billboards promoting girls’ soccer all over town. People
recognized me, and every single time, my heart sped up, and my soul said
you’re living your dream.
That was awesome.
My teammates were more like family. My own parents were the most
supportive in the world. I spun my tanzanite ring on my thumb, staring at
the vibrant color. The deep blue-violet hue matched my hair. When my
parents gifted it to me, they told me the story of how it formed was similar
to me: strong and capable of surviving lots of pressure and changes.
Like a bully of a coach who always told me I’d be nothing on the field.
That’d I’d never achieve my dream of playing in the pros.
“You’ll never get that far, Mackenzie, but it’s cute you think so.”
Yeah, my high school coach effed me up. She was the reason I put my
life and soul into soccer, missing out on so many other parts of growing up.
Despite getting a D1 scholarship and living out my dream at Central State,
she remained in my head—and in my life as my parents’ best friend.
I carried some trauma from that wonderful asshole of a woman.
The latest root of my insecurity? My life outside of soccer. The lack of
experiences I had because of ensuring I would make it to spite Coach Emily.
Seriously, Emily was too sweet of a name to be a horrible human being.
I eyed the vodka sprite in front of me, swallowing down the feeling that
I was annoying.
I couldn’t share my worry with my friends that I wanted to
live more. They had their own shit going on, real issues that weren’t
pathetic like mine. Lorelei’s internship was kicking her ass, but it was her
chance to prove herself. Alejandra’s parents were going through a divorce
with her fourteen-year-old sister still at home. Mally’s girlfriend cheated on
her, broke her heart and soul. Those issues were legit. Mine were not.
