I can feel the breeze push through my hair, keeping my eyelids a long way from shutting. It was the most beautiful day and I laid close to my balcony feeling extravagant and free. I felt the manner by which each young should need to feel at my age, free and full of life. My life included spending incalculable minutes squealing about nearness flaws instead of life’s gifts. What confounded me the most was how my life was running so viably with no expense? At the time, I could nearly comprehend that minute where I felt like the most joyful individual life could bring. I regarded what I had and was contended with the life.

Subsequent to totally considering this again and again, my mind ended up arranged on a purchasing another bike. I had held up 16 years of my life for it, regardless, it wasn’t in my grasp.
