Stripes = way more emotional breakdowns than she's used to.  I used to not get those, but lately they've come pretty often.  My guess is it's a combination of lack of sleep, lack of food, hormones, and just life in general.  Whatever it is, it's weird.  These breakdowns only last - at the most - half an hour.  When they happen I just feel totally hopeless and that almost nothing will help.  For those of you who are around when this happens, I apologize.  But, you've been such a great help to me.  I'd be even more of a wreck without you!  I love you all, I really do. 
I had one of those breakdowns today.  I get frustrated with my mistakes very easily, and I've been making a lot of them - specifically on the rifle.  It seemed every time I tried- I'd mess up, and I didn't know how to fix it.  But, as one of my good friends [who happens to be very good at spinning] said: You don't become an expert over night.  Ironically enough, I did just learn this stuff yesterday, so that saying was very much applicable.  I still felt very very hopeless, and I wanted to cease to exist.  Not a happy feeling, not at all.  However, I just needed some pep-talk type stuff.  Thanks a TON to Sync, Jess, and Jecca - I feel better now. 
Interestingly, I find myself having more dedication after every time it seems hopeless.  I didn't know any more dedication could fit in me!  But, it can, 'cause I feel it.  And this is why I'm sticking to Colorguard, I just have such a passion for it.  I have another person to say thanks to.  This person suggested I join guard in the first place, and I wouldn't have something I love so much if it weren't for him.  Thanks John!
I laugh at myself for being such a mess.  But, I'll get the hang of these silly breakdowns soon.  And, I'll get better at spinning, with all this over-the-top dedication.  Then I'll be completely and extremely happy!  Woohoo!
