Life of a Speed Demon

Life of a Speed Demon

There are many violent crashes on many highways and during these times many people put safety behind their minds. While grabbing air and speed, the feverish pitch of just being free and hitting the pavement till your face melts off is always classic James Dean.

You can stop shy of delivering our last dance of youth but generally, burning rubber plus seeing this as a last-ditch effort before getting to old age is quite common. They prosper and look up to idols preferably close ones, like dad? You would smile at the fact that you are almost or mostly like your dad while you are driving.

It is always wise to know the rules of the road. Sometimes though it doesn’t feel like it pertains to everyone. You cannot lie that being a speed demon is a mash-up of inspiration and idolization. It is tempting to go as fast as you can. You feel like it is always the best for you, but there are dangers in being a speed demon, you can get hurt or worse die.

The lasting feeling of adrenaline and a rush of blood to the head is observed as menacing but very addicting, but in the end slowing down and being relaxed is what everyone does on the road. Yes expressing good common sense is achievable. Suddenly, you find yourself being respectful. This is what we learned naturally when we took our first driving lesson at age 16.

If speed demons stop obsessing over speed, there would be no daredevils and no plea for abnormality. In fact, the differences between a speed demon and a regular driver can only be imagined in our minds as a better choice because you drive without fear. However, living bolder is tempting. Starting in our youth, when we build a cloud of candy and who doesn’t like the taste of candy? Everyone cannot shake a sweet tooth, just like the taste for speed.

With the Indy 500 soon on its way, we can just imagine what it is like to be a speed demon and know that just by being an observer is just as exciting as feeling that adrenaline rush while watching them. You cannot avoid the fact though that living the life of a race car driver is so unchangeable and permanent.

Time seems to be right for a budding speed demon and the love for cars will not change too. It is like coming closer to heaven, when you achieve speed. A more pronounced way to be is to be a speed demon in your head. Never plunging too deep into the dark side. Life can be strange. The only times we can run free is in our dreams. The life of a speed demon will always foster good thoughts and unchaotic dreams.

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
