#58 VALIDATED

It is not something I needed or something I was looking for.

But I think being validated is universally acknowledged as being rewarding.

Something you have been working on, something you have been striving to achieve, something that you want others to be aware of.

Oh gosh, the list is endless.

I think that proves how great it is to be ‘validated.’

Not an ego thing.

Not something I was craving.

Not a ‘fist pump.’

Not cause for celebration.

Just simply, a nice feeling comes over you.

I do not need it for my self-esteem.

I do not need it to continue.

I could keep going as well as I have been on my own.

I think I am doing fine.

I was stunned by what I was seeing.

My whole concept of how Golf clothing transfers beautifully to cycling?

Basically, the underlying theme of ‘DERAILLEUR AESTHETIC?’

A major designer launched a ‘GOLF AND CYCLING LINE.’

MALBON GOLF

One of my favourites too!

I was thrilled beyond belief.

YES

Someone else has finally seen it too.

I got excited.

I think I may be on to something.

I know they are.

I wish them nothing but success.
