So I drive. I like certain types of cars. Mainly, two-door, rear wheel drive, manual transmission. I would never buy a front wheel drive four door car b/c it doesn't fit my needs, and I like to go sideways once in a while... I have no need for two extra doors and a back seat. Having said that, what if something were to happen to my car and the ONLY vehicles I could buy, or could possibly afford, were front wheel drive cars with four doors. What then? Because I have to drive in order to get to work, to pay bills, etc and that is the only thing available to me, is that settling? Am I compromising what I want, how I feel, what I believe? What if there might be cars out there like what I am looking for, I just don't know where they are? Maybe the ratio is skewed so that the sheer number of front wheel drive, four door cars serve to make the two door, manual transmission, RWD cars invisible, for all intents and purposes. Or worse, what if they are out there but because I have to drive a certain amount of miles a day, I am automatically excluded... or b/c I don't make enough money per year, I am automatically excluded. (which is fine, I don't want a high maintenance car anyway) ... point being, what are my option? Either kill my ego and wade in to the pool, give up on what I want, how I feel, what I believe and take what I have available to me, turning a blind eye to the large portion of me that died a little inside. Ignoring that voice that is saying "You will never be happy. You will probably die an early death b/c of the stress level associated with this decision. You will wake up every day knowing that you are weak and you made a mistake, just so you could make a choice." Or I could hold out, hoping that the car I want will come along... I have managed this long... what is there to lose? Except opportunity, experiences, memories that haven't been made, and life. Easy.
This is an analogy, BTW. If you didn't pick up on that then... GTFO of my blog lol.
