Minority

I was in a minority tonight. I have been in the same place before, but I didn't feel it like I did tonight. I went to the YMCA tonight to lift weights. I have lifted fairly consistently since January, but most of the time it was at school, where the wellness center is smaller, and after chapel, so there were few people in there. Tonight, there were about 8 or so guys in the free weights area as I was lifting. I felt very out of place and conscious of being me: a little weak female.

But then again, I have found that I tend to be more self-conscious in general. And due to the situation, this was the night I felt it the most.
