🏍️ I Didn’t Come to Bali to Play Small
I started in Sri Lanka thinking,“How hard can a motorbike be?”
Hard enough that the owner ran after meand confiscated it 200 meters later.
Cue ego death.
So I come to Bali.
Get a lesson.
Go over two tree trunks.
Straight into a wall.
No pain.
Just humility.
So I decide:
Back of the bike is safer.
Today?
Different story.
I jump on the back in Seminyak traffic.
Instant download:
“This man needs to blow up his tires.”
Halfway through?
We skid.
He’s mounting pavements.
Cutting across traffic.
No helmet.
Chaos everywhere.
I’m literally thinking:
“Well. This is it. Pearly gates incoming.”
And then I asked myself:
Would you rather be terrified and alive…
or comfortable and half-asleep back home in a beige office?
Something in me unclenched.
I relaxed.
And I enjoyed the ride.
If I’m sliding into the afterlife,
I want to be yelling:
“What a feckin’ ride. Hell yes.”
That’s GOOSIFIED Level 6 yeah baby!
