I do not like any attention placed on me or "help" because to me then I failed in someway and have a weakness that nobody else has that I know of. It is hard to explain. When ever I am not completely occupied my mind goes to work and and my mind goes right to the negative aspects or the what ifs...kind of a pain. I am trying very hard for this not to happen but it just does.
It is really hard to name, to articulate in words and cohert sentences, one's greatest fears and weaknesses. Then once it's identified, that lump of negativity seems so huge. And it IS huge and can be energy-sucking just thinking about it..takes time to chip away at the problem(s), find solutions and talk it out with someone who is there beside you on the journey.

Meanwhile, hope you keep ridin' the bike.
