Ay.
Within the next three days my mother and I are undoubtedly joining a gym to get in shape! Yay! I'm excited as, I do quote the Disney movie 'Cars', "A tornado in a trailer park." but... I'm scared. When I think 'gym' I think of beautiful perfect people in an unshakable world, with perfect people looking down on me for being out-of-shape, and perfect people telling me exactly what to do, and being frustrated and judgemental when I don't do it right. I'm the paranoid type that feels all eyes are always on me, and I'm just scared for some reason... Can anyone help me get over this unfounded fear? Of course there's always the typical, "What's it matter what others think?! you're there for yourself!" But that phrase is easier said than put into action. Help peeze? I have the voices of a million encouragements driving me, but the shyness is my problem. |

I am going to join a gym too. I need to build back up my quickness and strength, just in case I get into the academy this summer.
