Conciseness is underrated

Sometimes a question can hurt more than an answer.

The thing is, you can’t always have the best of everything. Because for a life to be real, you need it all: good and bad, beach and concrete, the familiar and the unknown, big talkers and small towns.

So I just decided to relax into it, bumpy and crazy as it might be, and try for once to just go along for the ride.

Get back on that bike.

Now I felt like I was drifting, sucked down by an undertow, and too far out to swim back to the shore.

I wanted to tell him so. Find the right words, string them together in the ideal way, knowing that here they would have the best chance of sounding perfect.
