Flipped
I skimp on my stretching routine, even though I know I shouldn't. less than a week until ensemble Crack-crack-crack as I do a bridge, remembering gymnastics. I realize I don't really miss it. I had friends there, and at the time I supposed they'd be my friends for a while. but conversation was poor there, and I always felt like they were something

don't worry too much about stretching. keep in mind that people like jessie benton - who have never stretched in their lives - made team, too. you'll be the new "gumby" on team. *smiles* and you'll probably get lots of solos, too, because you're small and flexible. sometimes, it sucks to be tall. :/
truth to be told, i'm happy you quit gym. there's always a certain air about gymnasts, that they're better than everybody. i hate that.
ensemble girls may not be able to do back walkovers, or any of those other fancy moves, but they sure can dance, spin, and love each other the way teams should. we cry at competitions if we feel like it. we talk about issues when they arise. we genuinely care about each other, and that makes it all worth it. the only time it gets competitive is in winter, and trust me, girl, you won't have much competition. *smiles* see you on thursday, wanna ride in the same car together?
always,

Hah. You have a point about the gymnast thing. maybe it's because we feel like we're underappreciated? Everyone assumes that becuase we do back flips, that we're cheerleaders.
Why am I refering to gymnasts with myself included? I quit that, didn't I...
I'm so glad you're well enough to come. I'd love to ride with you.
And crying at competitions? THANK YOU! It was so taboo at meets, I couldn't stand it, I always used to let the tears fall.
Love and Rockets,
