SkyChin & Passion

Finally the once groove of fulfillment is back,I've finally danced out from the deterrent of stick shift.Albeit I'd passed my driving test in almost more than a year ago,but I hardly drive because stick shift is a dreadful and an intricate science to me.

What even discouraged me was the fact that I flunked my driving test back then in the slope parking section.A never spoken confession of me even after so long the incident had happened.Since then,I really hated stick shift,to a phobic rate.

Every time when I happened to drive on a slope,I'd  have prayed hard for the traffic light to turn green so I'd not need to stop because I really hated to hang at the middle of slope,that's a heart wrenching situation where your heart would race out of nervousness because I was really dreadful of rolling back as though it's going to make a string of car behind you wrecked because your car would indistinctly roll back.

Only till recently I came to know that I'd be becoming more timid as I put away myself from driving.I've even resorted to substituting real driving experience to some driving and parking game on my iPad,I basically learnt all the steps and moves from that virtual game,it finally made sense to me when comes to maneuvering a wheel but none of any games are teaching you after about stick shift!American often claim that stick-shift is the best anti-theft system in the world,you don't even need an alarm,because thieves don't appeal to stick-shift either!
 
The cars in my house are basically all stick shift,only one of them is an automatic transmission.The thing is they wouldn't let me handle it before I mastered all the basic driving stuffs.Driving a stick shift car is tough for me,not even to say that there's only one old trashed car in the house which is left unattended for me,the rest are preoccupied.It could not be ignited once the engine hiccups,because it has a stone-like heavy wheel that you would break your arm at the expense of turning it.So basically,the situation wasn't conducive for me.

You may not have the option to evade when things are pushing you forward.Without a car,you can't go anywhere,not even going to school.Burdening others would not work for a long run,because I do not want to trouble anyone merely to give me a ride either.Lowering my pride to ask others to give me a ride would not work either,because it's just so lowly,I'd rather die there and take bus instead.When things in my hand are getting heavier and heavier,I find that I ought to drive already,it may not be imminent but at least it should happen in the near future.

That's the toughest struggle between your fright and needs,both are equally permeating you every now and then.Knowing I needed to come out with a comeback plan in order to fix things right,at last I decided to drive,again.

Mustered all my courage and before throwing myself back to the stick-shift machine,I'd found myself some guide to the trick at manipulating the stick shift system.Fortunately thanks to this I'd picked up the way to play the stick better..Initiated my adventurous attempt while mum and bro were having a quick nap during an afternoon,I drove out  to the vicinity of my stay.Thank,I did not crash the car but gradually picking up the knack of taming it.

Human problems ought to be solved by human themselves,there's no other option to fixing it better.That night,I decided to voice out my petition to the parents asking them to allow me driving,again.The outcome was rather complicated,but fruitfully mum and bro gave their consent to let me have their rides to drive occasionally.For the better,I'd still need to work better on it.

For the time being,hopefully I will just need to dance to this promising groove and find myself back to the fulfilled outcome.That's what we call life.
