Like I've allowed myself to feel more free.
But it's just this feeling of everyone's staring, everyone's judging, whatever.
And so on Dancing with the Stars, my second day of practice, I was 16 at the time.
I locked myself in a bathroom stall and like cried and called my mom and said, I want to quit.
I want to go home.
No, the physical part was nothing for me.
Yeah, I'll switch you.
Oh, no, my face was going to explode on that show.
I was just like, I can't do this.
I finished the Olympics in August.
And I think the season I did was starting in January.
The second one I did was the later.
Yeah.
No.
Oh, I'm pissed.
I came in second.
I will put an asterisk by this for you.
So second on Dancing with the Stars, I feel bitter about it because I did the best I could.
Like I truly did.
I felt like my partner was Derek.
