I could never do sports... ever. Not in any life.

My pre-teen daughter is obsessed with #Gymnastics, Cheerleading, and Tumbling.

She does this competitively. We were at a competition yesterday. And she was warming up on the high beam and when one of her cartwheels didn't land, she feel down - straddled the beam landing on her bum - then feel off to the ground.

Her coaches force her to get up instantly and keep warming up. A lot of tumbles are painful if you miss. And I just couldnt 😫 😫 😫

I genuinely think she'd do much better if she wasn't so fearful of people.

She is not normally fearful of things. She loves spending the night in haunted hotels, she loves drawing demons and monsters, she tries to get her friends to summon bloody mary with her lol.

Yesterday morning, a house spider was crawling on her ankle. She calmly walked outside to brush it off with a piece of paper. No fear.

Crazy Spiders & Ghosts? No big deal.

But she legit freaks out when people watch her.
