Riding                     every day – the real therapy, not some psychedelic escapade in the clouds. Me and my                        ? We're not into deep conversations. If I dialed down my                        , maybe people would start thinking I'm the next big thing. If I quit shelling out cash for stupid                        , my lovely                   would probably ghost me.

I wake up every day with this irrational fear that                        is running out. Confiding in my                       , Claudia, I spill the truth: I need to be in my               .
We both know it's code for wanting to feel                       ...I've been chasing that effortlessly cool                        my entire existence. If I eased up on the effort, there'd be nothing left to brag about.
