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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
