"We have no choice over what colour we’re born or who our parents are or whether we’re rich or poor. What we do have is some choice over what we make of our lives once we’re here."

I am Sonya, hear me roar?
Sometimes I think about my name.
When I read it, sometimes it does not feel like my name, even though I know it is my name.
Other days I know it is my name. Absolutely. Completely sure. It fits me.
Sonya means wisdom. Did you know?
Sometimes I think my name is odd because I never hear it used in regards to anyone else, just me. That is because, while it not a rare name, it is not a common name either.
At intermediate school, a blonde girl told me I had an ugly name. In front of everyone.
Now I quite like my name.
Today it is raining. Therefore, I am not going to walk to Carey early and study. I had the worst nights sleep last night. I'm convinced I didn't sleep. I kept waking and thinking and it was like my mind did not know how to sleep.
This was bad.
My hands are shaking so I better stop.
Did I tell you?
My wrists and fingers have been painful.
This is a bad bad thing for an eighteen year old amateur poet and student.
