We ride our bikes because it is fun, good exercise and helps us deal with the REAL stresses in our lives.
alrite i'll take this one sentence at a time.
1. good job for speaking up.
2. keep calm and read 3-6
3. the point of that, see topic sentence, was about a particular emotion, of feeling stranded. it's a reflection on a feeling. work on your reading comprehension man. you're reading into whatever you want.
4. where exactly did i act like it was the end of the world? admit the writing came across pretty bleak (e.g. "beat that"), but did you happen to read the disclaimer on the original post, or anything else i said? probably not, you were busy judging.
5. nope, i didnt lose a limb, didn't lose a family member today, home didnt foreclose, i'm not being sold as a slave. i'm very aware in the world, my day was ok, but i'm not responsible for the entire world at one time. sorry if you have problems every day that are worse than even 99% of other peoples, but that doesn't invalidate anything i happen to talk about. but you know what? your "real" problems arent anything compared to other people's, so why dont you grow up with me?
6. i was riding my bike because i saw a bear do it once and wanted to be like him. i dont care why you ride a bike.
not now not ever am i pretending to be hard, idk where you got that impression to the extent where you think its ok to try to make someone feel like sht for sharing thoughts, regardless of how the writing comes across to you. you want to be decent and say something more than an imperative, even negative, go for it but the whole 'grow up' bs i'm not going to hear.
