In life, sometimes, I must engage the clutch - I step on the gas, navigate, and drive. At other times, that doesn't help too much, I ease off, coasting freely to survive. In younger years, I'd grab onto the reins - start a family, pursue a career. Now that I am retired with aches and pains, my kid is independent, not so near. As life brings changes I must undergo, I find it's better to stop and let go.
