Driving

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

I didn’t really care much about cars, or driving, before this year. I used to think owning a car and driving is a hassle, a responsibility, a burden (which is still true to some degree). This mentality explains why I didn’t follow the path of many of my peers when I was a teenager, rushing to get my driver license. Instead, I didn’t start learning how to drive until about two years ago, and didn’t get my license until about two months ago. Since then, I’ve driven a lot, and have begun to really enjoy driving. I find that driving alone is an incredibly serene experience.

When you’re in the driver’s seat of a car, you’re isolated from the outside world. You’re in a pod that glides gracefully across the road. You can crank up the music as loudly as you want, sing at the top of your lungs, and no one’s gonna interfere. When you’re in a car, you’re in your own little world. The destination is where you want to be, but getting there is definitely half the fun.
