When I was much younger and still competing in gymnastics, I could rarely find inspiration outside of the sport.

I'm just trying to really take it one day at a time, because for me - and I know this sounds cliche, whatever - I achieved my ultimate goal, and nothing can really top that, you know?

I've had to make really big decisions, knowing the results were not always in my control. Through these moments, I've learned to be daring and take risks but understand that everything always happens for a reason.

At the 2012 Olympic Trials, I wanted to make a second Olympic team. I fell face first, and in a blink of an eye, my dreams of competing in a second Olympics were over. Even so, I got up, finished my routine, and saw twenty thousand people cheering. It was my first standing ovation.

I also want to get out there in the world and do some acting and fashion and modeling.

Finish what you start, no matter how painful it may be.

Like at home, I don't wear heels. But everywhere else I go, I wear heels.
