Dear Luc

I agree so much that it is cute when the soles of our bare feet get black. Black soles from going barefoot is part of childhood fun in my opinion. It is so cute to see kids outside in bare feet with black soles playing games laughing and smiling.

I have autism so it is also sensory because I like my feet bare and it feels lovely feeling the different textures under my soles.

When I'm hanging upside down from a bar by my knees I like to say I am soles to head happy instead of soles to head happy. 😅

I have strong arms and I can do giants and cast handstands on the bars in gymnastics. But when I did a handstand for the first time as a kid I did not need strong arms because it was a partner handstand so I was being held at the legs for support.

You must be brave to do jugo I would be afraid to fight I am too gentle. 😭

Hope we can be friends? Let's see who gets the blackest soles by the end of the day.

Love Gymnast Lover Millie
