Quoting Kyle Siemens, India, The Bike Trip, The Book?!, Making It Meaningful, 2026

Worrying is funny, because inevitably […] your mind begins to forget it all.

Everything you were anxious about is compressed and edited into a few images. The bike boxes on the sidewalk at 3:30AM, the customs guy cutting open your 10 layers of tape on the bike box, doing squats in Dallas during a layover while being watched by a lady eating a huge tub of yoghurt.

Everything else slips away. Inconsequential. And surely soon even these images will be compressed.
