Am I the world’s biggest loser?
I just read on Candymag.com that they already conducted interviews on 15 girls for the Candy Council of Cool 10. And they hadn’t even contacted me unlike last year.
That means I’m of zero talent. I may have made Theresian Magazine, yes, but it’s not enough. I JUST NEED THIS TO PROVE EVERYONE THAT I’M GOOD ENOUGH. I guess you’re all thinking, “Everyone will trade their souls to be writers of the school paper. Consider yourself lucky you made it.”
I don’t care about it. All my writing talent has gone to the wastebin. Rejected in my favorite magazine for 2 consecutive years. I don’t care if I get perfect scores in my essays in school and teachers praise my work. I got rejected in every writing competition I joined: COC, Manila Times. What’s next? Join next year then fail again? Dammit.
One reason why I should have been better in Math than in English. Everyone I know is good in Math. I hardly know anyone whose interest is creative writing. I was very happy when I found out I got in to Theresian Mag. That’s already a blessing. Rejected in my favorite magazine for the second time is very humiliating. Biruin mo, staffer ng school paper niyo hindi makapasok sa COC?

I only have one more chance: the Reader’s Digest Asia Short Story Writing Competiion. If I don’t make this, I’ll be labeled as LOSER.
