Simone BilesSimone Biles We’ve always had each other’s backs in and out of competition. We support each other the most because we’re the only ones that know what it’s like to go through what we do, and so we can’t be more thankful for each other. We’re like sisters.

More on freedom
I wish I were a girl again, half-savage and hardy, and free.
Emily BronteEmily Bronte A messenger of Hope comes every night to me, And offers for short life, eternal liberty.
Emily BronteEmily Bronte You’ve got to know your limitations. I don’t know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren’t too many limitations, if I did it my way.
