Falling

I fell off my e-bike today. It’s new, I was practicing. A neighbor saw me and made sure I was ok. I’ve fallen on the treadmill at the gym twice after accidentally yanking the emergency stop thingy. People saw me there too. Falling is scary and embarrassing and sometimes painful. But then… it’s over! You go on with your life, the people who saw you go on with theirs, and you know what? If we’re being honest, they’ve fallen too. And once you do it, the scary and embarrassing isn’t actually so bad.

Also I cracked my phone screen for the first time ever and I’m weirdly kind of proud of myself.
