So, yeah...in about 4 hours from now I'll be getting my first (test) driving lesson. In a real car. On a real road. Millions of people drive a car every day. Most people even get their drivers license as soon as I can. But not me. Cause I'm SCARED TO DEATH!
It's something I have to do now though, just so at least I will know what it's like to sit behind the steering wheel and drive a real car. Cause I believe I can't do it. Just like I happen to believe I'm really not good at pretty much everything. This is something that can help me proof myself that I'm capable of a lot more than I gave myself credit for.

And really...a big part of me would love to be able to drive a car, cause it is the ultimate sense of freedom you can get, right? When I was in Ireland I often imagined driving my car around, where I would go, where I would stop etc...

But I'm fucking nervous for it all. It's just a test lesson even, so no strings attached whatsoever. I can't even believe I'll be driving down a real road, with real cars. But what victory it will be once I've done it. And maybe then I'll decide to take real lessons. So that in a few months time I will get a real drivers license and I'll be able to drive a car myself, maybe even get myself a small little car so that I can go anywhere whenever I want.

But shit...right now I wish it would be six hours from now so that the whole experience is at least over and done with. So nervous and scared!

Good luck! It'b a bit scary at first- I was all MOM I'M GOING TOO FAST and I wasn't even pushing the gas, just coasting.

But now I love driving, even though I don't get to do it often since I no longer have any reason to have a car. It opens up a whole new world of freedom.

Wow, good luck! It will be hard and it will be scary, but please don't let that put you off from continuing. It can take many lessons to start to feel confident, but it is sooo worth it, and then you'll wonder what you were ever worrying about. I totally believe you can do it! xx
