Obstacles

Sometimes I have obstacles that stop me from moving forward. Then I have guilt feelings that stop me even more. It can feel like I'll never get out of the "pit" I am in. I've heard it said that actions define you. So when I don't act on something, I am nothing. Sometimes that feels bad because there is a part of me that wants to be something.

All of this could be alleviated by doing the next thing, which would be to talk to the person I am thinking of. Cryptic enough? All of this to say that I feel shitty about that which I have not done.

A few years ago, a component of one of my classes was basic bicycle repair. A student brought in a cracked rim and I was excited about the opportunity to help fix it. It was more than I could handle though, and through a series of errors in judgement, long story short, I still have his bicycle in my garage waiting to be fixed. I have no money to fix it, and I don't even really know where to begin.

Today he hit me up on Facebook, and I need to just talk with him to figure out how we can resolve this. He is forgiving, I already know, but I still feel terrible for just holding on to his bike and failing to repair it.

Admitting I was wrong is something I do a lot, but it hurts every time.
