Cyndi Perczek

I have no hair left. I’ve ripped every single one out of my head and I’m on the verge of a mental breakdown. I haven’t eaten in days and my eyes are almost swollen shut.

BUT I CAN’T SEEM TO STOP WATCHING OLYMPIC GYMNASTICS!!!!!

How do they do it? They spend their entire lives training, watch their bodies become wide, stubby muscular structures and sometimes don’t even make it!

And you know what kills me?! When their tiny little 14-16 year old selves have a mediocre routine and you can see them tearing up, trying to keep it together as they walk up to their disappointed coaches. I cry every time.

But then I get SO mad. It makes me want to go up to their coaches and say “ HEY! DUDE! COULD YOU GIVE HER A BREAK? SHE PROBABLY WANTS TO BE A NORMAL PERSON WHO CAN EAT A BURGER AND WATCH A MOVIE WITH HER FRIENDS BUT INSTEAD SHE HAS TO DO THINGS LIKE BACKHAND SPRINGS ON A BEAM! CAN YOU DO THAT? NOOOO!!!!!”.

Oh my God, Gabby Douglas is on T.V. I gotta go.
