I have seen first hand how dificult it can be for anyone close to me to accept the fallout of my choices , no mother wants to see thier son all smashed up after his 20th motorcycle crash , what she didn't know couldn't hurt her.
I was a competitive Thai boxer which my girl of the time had problems with , there were many reasons for keeping close ones out of the action of my life and I suppose to some they would seem selfish but I don't see it that way.
My choices were selfish in as much as I knew how difficult it was for my loved ones to accept that any sane person would put themselves into the insane situations that I did , and yet I still made the choice to do it.
I have to live with my choices as everyone does however I can say I have no regrets , how many people can say the same ?

My family learned to accept that I am an adrenaline freak and my friends all know me well enough to know I'm not ready to compromise just yet.
