Should I Quit Cheerleading?

I recently signed up for a Cheerleading team that’s not affiliated with school events or anything like that.I already attended fittings and a few practices. After awhile, I started realizing that the excitement and passion that I had for cheer was fading. I layed down for awhile and started imagining my life without Cheerleading. I’m only 13 so I knew I had many more years to find a sport/hobby that my heart truly desires and will never get tired of. The urge to quit grew bigger by each minute. But what sucked was that I already attended a few practices,went to fittings(already ordered the uniforms :(. It was like 2 sides of me were arguing about whether I should quit or not. I couldn’t imagine having to attend/play a sport that my heart was into. Like only my body was there but not my heart and that burning passion and excitement. The entire total of everything was $400, I made a commitment and I would look like a fool going back on my word. I know that it’s only the beginning of the season and I should give it a try, but I can’t seem to find that excitement and passion I once had. My parents are happy that I joined Cheerleading but I know they’re tired or driving me to and from practice.I don’t know how to bring myself to tell them if I do make the decision to quit and find something else that I will pour my heart into. Same with my coaches…just imagining them imaging me of being a quitter and breaking my commitment. The decision grew more intense and important and I find myself just laying down and sad. Please, if you guys/gals could help me and it would be a huge weight off my shoulders knowing it came from people that has or is in my situation right now. Thank you so very much (:.
P.S. If you could write properly,(don’t have to),that would be amazing. Btw, do I sound more
like a mature 17 year old? I’ve been told countless times I type and speak like a mature adult haha.

    If you’re sexy, continue cheerleading
    If you’re not, then quit cheerleading

    By joining this team, you’ve already made a commitment to them. How about you stick with it just for this season? By the end if you don’t like it, you can stop cheering, but who knows, you may learn to love cheer! And if not, you may learn just to love your team members instead.
    Basically, unless you can’t deal with being on the team anymore, give yourself a chance and go the rest of the season- it’s not gonna hurt anything, and you may end up liking it again!
