I have a U lock from Trek that I will never use again. On two occassions now, it wouldn't come unlocked. It's taken 20 minutes of fiddling with the key, a panic attack and a whole lotta cursing to get the lock off. I should just return it but since I was only using inside my own garage (my neighborhood is a bit on the margin), I just haven't bothered to.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
