[bodytext] => When other people judge me I think of when my brother and I were younger. I think of us riding our bikes down the asphalt of our street. I think lf him laughing at me as he rode ahead of me All proud glittering eyes, all smirk as he said. "It/'/s okay, you/'/ll catch up some day." I felt so stupid in that moment and maybe I was. I was stupid for letting him make me feel stupid. What my mother pointed out to us that day was true. " She/'/s learning to bike without training wheels. You still have them. Of course you/'/re going faster than her." I still think about that moment sometimes. I think about how it never crossed my mind he shouldn/'/t have been able to judge me untill she pointed it out. I think about it whenever I let someone get me down. I ask myself, Why we allow people in different stages Of life from us, people on different journeys, To dictate how easy our paths are. Don/'/t sit and judge someones two wheeled life If you still have your training wheels on.
