Stick It

— Oh, really? You sure?
— I'm so sure I'm practically deodorant.

Gymnastics tells you no. All day long. It mocks you over and over again. Telling you you're an idiot. That you're crazy. If you like running full-speed towards a stationary object, vault's for you. If you like pealing pieces of skin the size of quarters of your hands… bars is for you. Because the only thing more fun then rips, is when your rips get rips. It's super sexy. And floor, are you serious, I mean who doesn't want to parade around in a leotard getting wedgies and doing dorky choreography? It's delicious. If you like falling, then gymnastics is the sport for you! You get to fall on your face, your ass, your back, your knees, and your pride! It's a good thing I didn't like falling… I LOVED IT!

The problem is, perfection doesn't exist.

You know, Haley, there are a lot of great people who had jerks for parents.

It doesn't matter how well you do. It's how well you follow their rules.
