Life is about living through new experiences….

Did my first night mountain bike ride the other night. took off around midnight and rode using one of my friend’s biking lamps. It was quite the time. The view of the city lights from the foothills was amazing. It was something new. It was a great experience.

Loaded up my kayak today and went to a pond and practiced my rolling. Nothing more frustrating than rolling 5 straight times and then totally losing the ability to do it. Got it back and finished with three rolls. Starting to ease back into kayaking after having a bad experience. Sometimes it’s a matter of putting the bad experiences behind and not letting them stop you from moving forward.

I guess that is the idea. Life is great experiencing new things regardless of what they may be….

On a trip. Headingg to salt lake city to see friends. One has been a friend since middle school and was my roomate for a big chunk of college.

It’s more than a physical trip. It’s a journey back to a very happy time in my life. The recollections are very vivid. I don’t k ow what has triggered them. May e it’s driving by twin falls where i shared many times with her.

It’s a trip to cali. A conversation on a freeway. Amusement rides. Classes and heading afterwards to her sorority to eat. Many cards. A phone call from a campus phone and seeing her shortly afterwards. Her driving to Montana when I got sick. The thoughts keep traveling into my mind.

Possibly the closest dating relationship to this point in my life. IT was also one of the hardest times. Her getting engaged and me receiving congratulations thinking it was me. A time in my life of living and learning for the better.

I’m sure there were bad experiances for her. Me unmedicated for bipolar.

I don’t want to give the wrong impression. I’m not still in love with her. I just love those happy memories.

A friend recently told Me you need to put out into the universe what you want. We are no longer in contact but I want to say sorry for any bad experiences, thanks for the amazing me memories and I wish you the best in life.

To the meeting of someone new. Someone who shares great experiences and creates memories. Just a different ending this time.

The miles click away and the thoughts keep coming…
