I love you.

Hey,

You can't see it right now, but you're a bicycle surrounded by tricycles.
You're much faster than most others, but in return you are going to obtain so many more bruises.
Right now you are riding along with training wheels, watching the world without a lot to fear.
All the people you fear are in the way, are afraid to get hit, so they'll move.
You have something special, and learning to ride didn't set you back.
But I want to give you some pointers for your upcoming journey.

1. The wind is going to push you over. A lot more can get to you and knock you down being so small on that giant bicycle. Please don't ever give up, because stopping can hurt you more than pushing through ever will.
2. Watch out for people. As you get older, people aren't going to be afraid or move anymore. Learn how to steer away because you won't hit them; They will hit you.
3. It's going to be lonely. You are too young for a tandem just yet, so all the weight is on your shoulders. Every problem is yours and only yours. You fall alone. You push forward alone. Do what you think is fun. Don't rely on the tricycles pedaling aside you, because you're going to pass them up soon enough.

You're smart and won't listen to me, a stranger.
But I'm no stranger.
I have lived this all, and trust me, you're in for a ride.
You're going to do great things.

I love you.
