Love and Bicycle [error: unfinished draft. accidentally posted]

I guess falling in love is like riding a bicycle. At first you're afraid to give it a try because you already knew that what most people believed in is that you can't go on and learn to ride successfully unless you experience knee and elbow scratches, bumps, drops, and pains. You stumble and fall. Yet your adventurous spirit tell you to continue, pedal, and drive in spite of the unsteadiness of your balance.

There is also moments when you want to learn by yourself and test how far you can go but you can't drive fast all the way forward. You stop by when you see a rock, afraid you might stumble. You slow down when you notice a car heading on your direction for fear of getting bumped. You pause when you're near a canal or a manhole, scared you might drop yourself into it. You're frightened when little children suddenly cross the streets, that's why you hit the brakes and yell at them even though you are more than a meter away afraid you might hit them. Lastly, you refuse to give in when someone skilled enough challenges you to a race, especially in a busy street, fearful you might collide with them and get hurt. Well, whatever your fears are, bottom line is, you don't give your whole self into it. Something keeps you from moving your way forward.

You can't love if you don't give yourself wholeheartedly. Love is giving. It is by sowing love that you reap love. It involves trusting yourself ????ambot
