Thankful that when I didn't get picked for the cheerleading squad in 7th grade, I figured out quickly that (1) I probably should not be an 8th grade cheerleader and they knew what they were doing when they picked the squad because I did not look like any of the cheerleaders they picked even though I was qualified and everyone was upset that I didn't get picked (2) I was good at other things and I needed to be doing those instead (3) it was not the end of the world. Took that experience with me the rest of my life, and the payoff has been huge.
Sometimes you think that is your ship, but it's not. Let it sail on and see what's on the horizon.

For some reason, when people like you and 33girl speak---it always impresses me and I think people should listen to the advice of both of you. This was said really well and it is good to find other avenues of spending your free time.
