If you had a choice...

If you had a choice

To win from a solo Breakaway that lasted 20K amongst some of the best hot-shoes in your area.

Or 

To win from a gnarly, near death bunch sprint beating your more respected rivals.

If you had a choice

To be beautiful, and have all the world at your feet, only to suffer miserably from anxiety trying to uphold your image.

Or 

Be a normal plain Jane human, happy in your skin and confident in your current body type, all the while doing the things that make you..you..

If you had a choice

Getting a gazzilion likes over everything you post on all the various forms of your social, but knowing not one single person is a close talk about the darkest corners of your world, is one of them.

Or

Continue to post, and create on your current social media platforms, getting less than average likes, but all the while not caring less than one percent about any of it. And all the while having an outlet to speak of your dark side, hopes and dreams..

If you had a choice

To be making boat loads of of money in a job that has you looking 15 years older than your birth certificate says you are, all the while having a retirement looming closer than a horse shoe game at uncle Zebs, but with a 40K stacked like a Arbys sandwich, all the while knowing your possible life expectancy is only 78 years of age.

Or.

Work or preform a career that allows you the liberty of a semi flexible schedule for things like family events and extra curricular activity's. Of course with an income that doesn't give you the benefit of a home the size of  Wal-Mart and cars costing as much as someone's yearly income.

If you had a Choice

To have high Wattage numbers, numbers that look great on Strava, Zwift and any other social media platform, but without race results.

Or.

Produce better than average but nothing to boast about numbers and surely ones that wouldn't ward the props and kudos from your fellow man, But you have had decent results the days when you have pinned a number to your backside.

If you had a choice.

To take a drive/fly across the your world vacation with the family, deal with people, time constraints and credit card bill type of vacation, all the while seeing gaps in the earth, rock formations that resemble your neighbors ass cheeks and witness another sunrise from a far away mountain top

Or

A few days away with the tribe, spend as little to grip, and be around fewer humans than the average USA cycling event, making solid connections on the things that make you complete.

I dunno either..i dunno why T sat down and wasted his time single finger punching out this time wasting self reflection post. But he always likes to keep his mind fresh, and keep the soul going in the right direction..

I tell myself every day i place my tired feet on the this earth.. Life is a pretty busy place, and if you get chance take few moments and breathe it all in. As i dont need to be remindin you, you only got one chance. Best not waste being a mere shell of what you started out be.

Peace, Love and always Respect
