It's not an addiction, but a lifestyle. Cheer helps me get the most out of my life, improve my health, become more productive, and get a good dose of stress relief.

Even though I don't spend much time with other friends and I get very stressed, my benefits outweigh my disadvantages. As the opening quote says, we always have plans for how to spend our time, but we don't realize that soon events that seemed small have become our lives. When I throw my flyer in the air and catch her, all the work proves it's worth it
