honestly, now that you mention it, believe it or not, nothing about cheerleading scares me at all. knock on wood haha. i mean, i've pretty much ran the gammot of things, flying, basing, collegiate baskets and pyramids, tumbling, janky tumbling, oh dear god who allowed her to throw that tumbling, falling, james bond rolling to save my life, you know, the works :D I just don't really think about it I guess. the moment you start thinking is the moment everything goes downhill. I'm not just talking skills either. performing too. I used to get scared poopless to perform when i was an allstar. like to the point where i would make myself sick, and I even questioned why I did it if it got me so worked up. I was so afraid of messing up that I wasn't able to truly enjoy it-until after I was off the floor. now that i'm in college? I stopped thinking so much about it. like literally, that's all I did. right before I performed, I say my own little prayer, remind myself how much I love what I do, and how fierce I am :) that seems to do it, i had BLAST competing at uca college nationals this past year. I cant even describe to you the feeling. it was even better than NCA allstars, even better than worlds. literally, (yes im going to quote the perks of beinga wallflower) and in that moment, i swear we were infinite.
