Post Number 75: A Broken Bell

I purchased a bicycle recently, in an effort to boost my wellness. It was to be delivered in the afternoon – by approximately 4 PM, as I had been informed. I was excited for it to arrive. “Child-like excitement,” as a friend put it. The cycle came at 11:15 PM, deflating all my enthusiasm. I had planned to take a couple of rounds on it, but it was too late. Until my mother noticed the bell-head of the cycle was missing.

I immediately sprung up and cycled towards the delivery man who had turned about to leave…

    I like cycling too. This year, quite surprisingly, I’ve been riding a lot on my shaggy distorted bicycle. After reading this, I thought about the time when I’d have to leave this bicycle behind even I wouldn’t like to. It moved me and made me realise about the fact that I’ve had made so many memories with my cycle that I’d cherish in the coming years of my adulthood. Through this blog I came to realise some of the things that I’ve never thought about. Keep writing. Keep people smiling♥️. And know that you’re making people feel good in the darkest hours of their lives.
