This is awesome man, I absolutely love your energy!
I remember, when I got out if the army, I went to University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS for a few years of art school; I found a BMX bike with flat tires that someone had left on the curb with their trash. I put new tires on it, and began to enjoy some of the best years of my life - a young man with the energy of a boy, wild and free - I rode that sucker everywhere! …and what you said just brought all that back to me in an instant - it was like being a kid again. The wind in my hair, rushing over my face and hands, the thrill of a sweet jump hopping over curbs, the slight fear when the handle bars wobble from going too fast down a hill - these feelings bring tears of joy and gratitude, I’m fortunate to have known these feelings.
This fits so nicely with this post from @mipiano that just went up today, talking about how certain things can bring memories back to life; it’s funny how things sometimes seem so intricately connected.
Anyway, thank you for awakening these memories in me, Kola!
How fun! Yes, that "wild and free" feeling you describe is just how I felt, being a young man and riding a bike. How cool of you to relate with me, and also see a relation in the post from @mipiano—she's extremely brilliant. Thanks for your great comment, my friend.
Indeed, Kola! I dig your style! Thanks for responding to me - i know I’ll see you around :)
