Intially I had a scare on a drive thru Arizona. I got trapped in crazy Phoniex traffic with on going road construction, and I was already hesistant to drive. Add in a backseat driver and it's not a very good mix! I literally cried driving down the highway. It was horrible to say the least.
And I might add I didn't have my license. I didn't get my license till I was 23 or 24 I can't quite remember. But lets be serious those test are a piece of cake. The only difficult thing is the parallel parking and sometimes you don't have to do it to pass. I just wanna add that when I took my test it was the first time I tried it and did it perfect :)
Back in my teens my Mom taught me to drive, because my Dad couldn't. He tried one time and made me cry. (See the trend) I learned in shopping center parking lots and around the neighborhood. That was the extent of my driving. It wasn't until I lived in Cali that I actually drove. And it was because we always drove back and forth from Cali to Texas and vice versa.
I would take the night shift when the roads where filled with truckers. I loved it. At least until that day in Phoniex lol. I haven't really driven since. Not until I got my license and started going back to college. & even then I would have my mom drop me off and pick me up. Crazy I know.
My dad bought me my first car last year. I'm dead serious. His name is Mark. He is my main man who ventures with me on the road. I will not drive another car only Mark. My anxiety isn't that bad when I drive Mark, because I feel safe and secure. Probably because I know it's MY car and don't have to worry about hitting something!
If your wondering how I picked "Mark" the answer is easy. Mark Wahlberg. What can I say I'm a girl lol! So as I slowly venture onto the open road I know that I am one step closer to getting over my fear. & let's not forget, I'll have Mark every step of the way.
XOXO,
