Explaining








I guess I probably should explain the real reason I haven't had time to right the past couple of months and that is because I haven't wanted to have time because I didn't want to write about gym. Because the past two months I've been trying not to cry every time that I have to go to gym or do things at gym. I did have things to write about, lots, but they weren't happy things they were things like I don't want to be there, I'm sick of it, I can't do this anymore, it hurts too much, and the list goes on. The reason I didn't ever write was because I didn't want to be at gym anymore. And it took me a month and a half to even find a way to put the words together so that I could talk to my mom about it. And then it took me a couple of weeks to get it into her brain what I really wanted and needed. And now all I have left to say is, I'm done. I quit (or as some people put it "retired")gymnastics at the beginning of this past week. I feel free, happy, excited, and most of all blessed that I can have a mom and dad who will let me do this and stop what I've spent the last nine years doing so that I can be happy. Thank you. I will miss my friends, but I wont miss gymnastics not in the sense of doing it. So this has been a gymnast's diaries, but it no longer is.
I now am a dancer.

In memory of my gymnastics life here is some pictures from over the years.

  1. I was wondering why you had not posted in a while. That is neat that you are a dancer! Good luck.

  2. Yeah, that's why. Yep! I love to dance. I did it when I was doing gym, but not nearly as much! :D

  3. I am sad that you quit gymnastics. Take a look at my blog this week. My daughter Tori-bug said she wanted to quit too and went on and on how I said that if she ever wanted to quit she could and here I was trying to talk her out of it. I just didn't want her to "throw" away all that she has learned and quit. If she truly did want to, I would have dealt with it and let her. I am proud for your mom by allowing you to decide and it sounds like you haven't regretted it, but keep blogging. We still want to see what you are up to. Good Luck with dance. Tori-bug tried dancing first for 3 years before she went to gymnastics. Another friend of ours is 14 and was about to compete Level 10 and quit this month too. Just decided she didn't want that anymore. Let us still hear from you though!!
