idek where to start man this is so hard. Xavier I remember the first day we met and we all went to cheba hut. You were literally the one with the most energy, making sure I was okay since I was new to the group, leading the group so we knew where to go. It’s crazy how you accepted me so fast knowing I was a new rider helping me out whenever I needed it or even just a check up especially after my major crash. Then you started a huge community and it only went up from there you don’t realize how much of a impact you were. But I promise the close ones will keep you alive in it and won’t forget. We literally rode so much together when we had the chance and I’m gunna remember every moment with you. It hurts so much now that your gone in the blink of an eye. Getting off work to finding out the news shattered me in multiple ways I didn’t wanna believe it. It broke even more because I was just with you 2 days before this all happened. I miss you everyday that has gone by since. Ride in paridise for me and keep doing you wheelies up there😇 R.I.P X 🕊️ #brother #gone #why

Most people think life is about circumstances. It’s not. ㅤ It’s about interpretation. ㅤ Same number of hours. Same doors. Same rejection. Same opportunity. ㅤ Two people can experience the exact same moment and walk away with completely different futures based on the meaning they assign to it. ㅤ That’s the quiet truth behind success and failure. Not talent. Not luck. But the ability to consistently choose the empowering interpretation. ㅤ You always have options. You always have a choice. And over time, that choice compounds into your identity. ㅤ Choose the meaning that moves you forward. ㅤ 👉 Save this for the next moment you feel yourself slipping into the weaker interpretation.
