VAULTER VAULTER

Dear Younger Me: Kaitlyn Merritt

I know you haven’t heard that from me for a while, and I’m sorry. I see that bright smile you are hiding behind. You are trying so hard to make it genuine, and even I almost believed that brave face you have on.

Of course, I now know we made it back to vaulting, and I think a part of you always knew that too. But there will be times when that part of you seems to be stolen by doubt. My advice is to lean into others when you start to lose faith in your comeback. After all, it was your family and friends who first taught you to believe in yourself. Borrow their belief until it becomes your own.
