Trying to get back to the essentials. This journey has been a crazy one. As I grow as a human I understand a little more each day my purpose and the sacrifices that need to be made. The magnitude of what's expected of me on a daily bases is extraordinary and I know it's impossible, but for some reason, I reach anyway; because I believe. I haven't been able to be an athlete in a long time no matter how big that impact is or could be I'm stuck explaining why what I'm doing is important everytime I step into a room of decision makers or gate keepers. So fuck it, if I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it exact the way I see it in my head. The past informs you so that you can create the things you never had. #welcometothefuture #blackcyclist #fortheculture 📷 alonsotal
