Someone jogged behind your bike holding the seat, then let go without telling you. That’s how most love works.

Most of the help that actually worked was designed to become unnecessary. Someone ran behind you until you had it, then withdrew at the exact moment you stopped needing them, and deliberately said nothing, because knowing would have wrecked it. You got the balance and they got the view from behind. That pattern repeats through every version of being raised well.

Look back at something you are good at and try to find the hand that was on the seat. Then notice where you are doing the running for someone else, and let go a little earlier than feels comfortable.
