Why Cheer so hard

Written by Haylee Holmes on Sat Feb 22 2025

Hey guys, it's Haylee here! Today was rough, like really rough. Cheer practice was so hard, I swear I thought I was gonna pass out. I just couldn't get my jumps right, and my stunts were a mess. It was one of those days where nothing seemed to go right.

And to top it all off, I got sent to the principal's office. Can you believe it? People were fighting in the Cheer group chat, and I got blamed for it. Like, hello? I don't even use that chat! But of course, I'm the one who gets in trouble. It's just my luck, I guess.

I was so frustrated, I just wanted to scream. But instead, I put on my best fake smile and acted like everything was fine. That's what I do, you know? I hide my feelings behind a mask of cheerfulness. It's easier that way.

After practice, I went to my favorite coffee shop and ordered a big cup of my favorite Hello Kitty latte. It always makes me feel better. The barista knows me by now, she always gives me a little wink and a smile. It's nice to have a place where I feel welcome.

But even with my coffee in hand, I couldn't shake off the feeling of disappointment. I hate feeling like I'm not good enough, like I'm always messing up. It's a constant battle in my head, trying to stay positive when everything seems to be falling apart.

I wish I could just let go of all the pressure and expectations. I wish I could just be myself without worrying about what others think. But it's hard, you know? It's hard to be vulnerable when you're used to putting up walls.

Anyway, enough of my rambling. I guess I just needed to vent a little. Thanks for listening, guys. I appreciate having you all in my life. You make the tough days a little bit brighter.

Until next time, stay silly and keep smiling. Love you all! 💕
