just part of growing up

This might sound reallllly pathetic. But sometimes I miss high school SO.MUCH. Not HS in general, but just certain parts of it. Recently, I've been missing cheerleading with my whole heart. As in whenever I look through cheer pictures on Facebook, I want to cry. Or I just went and watched the competition video from States 2009...and I can honestly say that I would do ANYTHING to be back on that mat this very second. Don't get me wrong, I love where I am now. I'm incredibly happy. But you know, I wouldn't mind traveling back in time every once in awhile to some of my favorite memories. I just miss spending every day after school with 25 of my favorite people. And competing. And facials. And tumbling. And goofing off (Sarah............). And cheer music (literally the best). And conditioning (and being in freaking good shape). And rolling mats. And even having to ice all my injuries every day after practice. And winning (district and region champs every year whaddup). And cheer boyfriends. And initiations. And cheer sleepovers. I miss Friday night football games. And cheer families. And cheer uniforms. And big bows and pom poms. I just miss my cheerleader self. And most of senior year in general, actually. And I'm gonna stop now because I just sound super lame and nostalgic.


Basically, what this post comes down to is I better have a daughter who wants to cheer so that I can re-live this through her.
