Dear Kaylen:

I think that you did the right thing, to not ask your mother to finance gymnastics for you at that time. I would have done the same thing in your place.

You wrote that the reason you regret not taking gymnastics is because you think that if you did take gymnastics, then you would have been “able to emotionally handle things better.. instead of feeling like I need to just give up”-

– what is it currently that you are not handling well, and what is it that you want to give up on?
