Aging Out

I can't give any advice on how to deal with this subject. I haven't cheered for over a year now and I still am adjusting to not being a cheerleader. I can't watch a football or basketball game because all I do it critique the squad, miss doing the same things they are, and feel lost when I actually have to PAY to get in. HAHA. Cheerleading was the best thing to happen to me and now I can't do it. In a few years I am not going to know anyone on my old squad. The youngest girls I would have cheered with will be juniors this fall. And that's if they stick with it, because let's face it they are flakes. Pretty flakes that can't cheer, but flakes none the less. I don't want to be a girl who can't give it up and wants to relive high school again but high school was great. I loved high school. I had a great time. I met some awesome people. I did a lot of cool stuff. I was popular. People looked up to me. Now I don't have any of that and I miss it. I have held onto all of my old cheer clothes because I just can't give it up. I plan on decorating my room with all of my cheer clothes, poms, and awards next year because it will make me feel like I am still a part of cheer, even though I know I'm not and won't be at least until I graduate. I understand how it is to now have cheer in your life anymore and of you ever need someone to talk to I am here. I'm sorry I've been AWOL lately. I've been super busy at work. But school is about ready to start back up and I will be back posting a lot more. ❤
