I coast out of the driveway and bike down SunsetBoulevard. Visiting my cousin in LA for the summer had its uppoints. Besides the entirley flat landscape, the fact that I got to bike past my favorite 60's musical everyday was pretty sweet. I peddle down the way.
My long hair flows behind me and I race down the first hill I hit. I raise my hand high in the air and push my legs to straighten and the momentum catches up with me and suddendlu the world is gone. Just me, someoveralls, chucks, and my bike.
I grin, knowing nobody's around. Knowing I'm in solitude for this second. Knowing im free and the flood ofjoy washing over me won't be blocked.
I race up and down the paths. Twisting around to my music, blasting out of my phone hanging out of my backpack. I can dance on my bike. Spinning and racing till I'm breathless.
The strangers I pass I will never see again. I can fly and nobody will care. I can let go and they'll ignore me. Troye Sivan can blare and all they can do is glare.
Those split seconds where I can forget myself, my flaws and love myself more than anything. The split seconds until.
