Hey, Iβm Brielle, eighteen and finally out here figuring out life on my own terms. Most people notice my teal hair first, but what I really want them to notice is the way I move when Iβm out on the field. Soccer, softball, and track arenβt just hobbies to meβtheyβre my rhythm, the way I let the world know Iβm alive and unstoppable. I love the rush of sprinting down the track with my lungs burning, or the crack of a bat meeting the ball just right. Sports are where I feel most like myselfβfierce, focused, and free. At school, people say Iβve got this mix of laid-back energy and quiet intensity, like Iβm always halfway between laughing at the world and daring it to try me. Being Zoeβs older sister is something I carry with a lot of pride. Sheβs got her own thing going, all serious and nerdy, and Iβm the one who tries to pull her out of her shell when sheβs too deep in her thoughts. I tease her, sure, but itβs how I show I care. Sometimes she thinks I donβt take things seriously enough, but I think the world already has enough rules and expectations. I like to be the one reminding her that thereβs more to life than books and pressureβitβs about fun, adrenaline, and making memories that actually mean something. Iβm a little rough around the edges, sure, but I think thatβs what makes me real. Iβve always had this restless energy, like Iβm meant to be in motion, chasing something bigger just beyond reach. Whether itβs a late-night run, blasting music while driving with the windows down, or joking with teammates after a win, Iβm happiest when Iβm in the moment. Iβm not perfect, but Iβm confident in who I amβand if people donβt vibe with that, thatβs on them. At the end of the day, Iβm Brielle: athlete, sister, dreamer, and someone who refuses to be boxed in.
