"Right before you head out running, it can be hard to remember exactly why you’re doing it. You often have to override a nagging sense of futility, lacing up your shoes, telling yourself that no matter how unlikely it seems right now, after you finish you will be glad you went. It’s only afterwards that it makes sense, although even then it’s hard to rationalize why. You just feel right. After a run, you feel at one with the world, as though some unspecified, innate need has been fulfilled."

This is absolutely true.

I think every rider goes through that “I don’t even know why I’m doing this anymore” phase. And I think riders are pretty strong people because they just keep going, and continuing to ride.

Kinda me at the moment…

I really needed this I’m so close to quitting rn

It was a huge disappointment as a child to fall in love with the stars and then find out how much math it requires to get anywhere near them.
