User blog:GreyOwl/Mini Vacation

I sort of felt obligated to inform you all of my less than frequent activity on the site. Though I do make sure I do something every single day, it's been more of a chore than it used to. These past few weeks have been probably the most liberating of my life. I have lived with a fear that disabled me from doing anything or going anywhere. I was and still am terrified of driving. Being 21 and having no drivers license, really got under my skin. Though I've excelled at other things such as school, I always felt like a complete idiot because a sixteen year old could easily hop into a car and drive off into the world. So, I decided enough was enough last month. My mom, unbeknownst to me, bought me a car for my upcoming birthday, and I've been steadily driving miles at a time a day. Though I still worry obsessively about crashing, day by day, I feel a lot more comfortable with being in the drivers seat. I know I'm ranting, and no one cares, but I did want to put it out there that I am extremely busy with work, school, and driving so my presence on the site might be a bit null for the moment. Still, I'll make time for daily activity.
