annoyance

I am super annoyed right now. What gives them the right to praise and praise someone else, and totally forget about what I brought to the table as well?

Went for dinner tonight, and they were going on and on about her greatness. How she managed to win the race because of her fighting spirit, how she has such great stamina, how she came from behind to finally win the gold medal, etc..

Somehow, they ALWAYS manage to forget that I also brought fame and pride to them. Have they forgotten that I was in the national synchronized swimming team even when I was in primary school? I have also won gold medals before.

Just because the gold medals I won wasn’t during SUKMA doesn’t mean it wasn’t any less meaningful.

Just because the gold medals I won wasn’t during SUKMA doesn’t mean I didn’t bust my ass off to get it.

Just because the gold medals I won wasn’t during SUKMA doesn’t mean I didn’t work twice as hard.

Don’t get me wrong. I love every one of them, I have the utmost respect for her, and I’m very grateful that she’s in my life. But it just gets too much sometimes that all they see is her and her achievements. What about me? Am I really that invisible? Or is it just because I don’t shine as bright that I’m just easily cast aside?
