"Consolatio Invenitur Cum Morte"
People often remark that life is a journey with highs and lows, an emotional rollercoaster that may bring us to our greatest heights and lowest points. As a student born on April 28, 2006, my name is Arghafar H. Abbas and some people call me as ghaf, far, and bas. I am currently going through one of those troughs where worry, mental fatigue, and difficulty all seem to come together. During difficult times in my relationships and studies, throttle therapy has proven to be an unusual source of comfort.
The pressure to perform academically well is a continuous companion for students. Expectations from instructors, family, and myself might feel oppressive at times. Every task and exam turns into a battleground where I battle for my identity and self-worth in addition to my grades. I'm mentally exhausted from trying to live up to these standards and from having so much information to process.
My personal life has presented me with its own set of difficulties at the same time. It's never simple to negotiate the nuances of relationships when you're young. The accompanying emotional rollercoaster might be unbearable. My everyday stress level has increased due to the instability in my relationship, and I feel emotionally depleted.
Throttle therapy proved to be an unexpected source of solace for me in the middle of the mayhem. If only for a little instant, I discovered a haven where the din of everyday life disappears in the thunderous embrace of a motorcycle engine. Riding became into a kind of meditation and a way for me to escape the mental storms that were raging, beyond merely a means of transportation.
It's more important to find a quiet moment in the middle of the bustle than it is to go fast or rush. The motorcycle turns into a companion in this healing dance, an extension of who I am. The more I ride, the more I realize that man and machine have a symbiotic relationship—a dance of control and liberty.
I regain my sense of agency and control over anything while I'm riding, even if it's just a two-wheeled engine. The road takes on a metaphorical quality, resembling life's many curves and ups and downs. Nevertheless, at every push of the accelerator, I am constantly reminded that I am in control of how I choose to go.
Throttle therapy is not a long-term fix, as I come to understand as I travel through life's obstacles and on the road. In the big picture, it's a break, a pause button. What it does provide, though, is a reminder that even in the middle of difficulties and anxiety, there are times of relief to be found, even if they include a roaring engine and wide-open roads.
Every strand in the enormous tapestry of life adds to the total, and my experiences—both the highs and the lows—are molding me into the person I want to be. Throttle therapy has helped me manage the chaos one throttle twist at a time, even if life may be a turbulent ride.
