leap forward

In attempts to make good use of my new investment, i've been treading a lot of ground off of my own two feet this last week. Honestly, it's been kind of scary. I feel this weird anxiety about biking... it must be something about being separated from the ground or maybe it's the launched into the air at unnatural amounts of speed with out a brake...I'm not quite sure what the roots of my anxiety are, but I know that they are there.

Then you go and raise my seat up so that I even can't reach the damn ground with my feet. Made me practice getting on and off that metal beast in the most unconventional way... pretty much pushed me out of my comfort zone completely.

But I guess in some weird sort of way, I appreciate it. Because even though I was scared out of my mind and wanted to kill you at some points, you stuck by my side and made sure I wouldn't fall. You took your time to make it easier on me in the end.

I understand now that I just have to do it. I just have to go for it. Truthfully, I'm still scared. But because of your efforts, I'm willing to just take that leap and if I so happen to fall--then at least I know that you'll be right there laughing with me, too.
