Hello everyone!
After a long time, I've never held the steering wheel, finally after 3 years I was given the opportunity by my husband to drive again.
There are several reasons why I haven't driven in the last 3 years.
First, I felt scared and lacked guts because I once hit a tree. This is the funniest thing I've ever driven. At that time, I forgot the position of the brakes and gas. It was stupid for me to step on the gas when I was in front of a palm tree. And that traumatized me a little.
Second, after I hit a tree, then two months after that I became pregnant with my second child. My husband forbade me to drive, firstly because we didn't have a car and it would be dangerous if I went back to driving after destroying my father in law car, and secondly because my husband was afraid that something bad would happen to my baby. So since then, I never drive again.
It seems, after that second pregnancy, I was afraid to drive a motorbike and a car. It felt like my courage was starting to decrease or even not exist at all. It also had a lot of negative impact on me, perhaps because the trauma made me a little less confident.
But, after I saw my friend insisted on being good at driving, I wanted to be like a young person again. The fear was overcome by the desire to be confident again, that I too could rise from deep fear and trauma. Also because I was again given the opportunity from my husband to learn to drive a car.
My husband said that I should be able to drive to make his job easier. I have become more independent so that I can go anywhere without him, at least I can take and pick up our children for school, additional lessons, swimming lessons and others. Without having to bother him while working. Turns out I'm very troublesome isn't it? *lol
I started to learn to drive in a housing complex that has a narrow road, actually to drive from the basics I can already, but the courage to drive in traffic jams makes me nervous again, when the road gets stuck, I am very afraid and often the engine shuts off because I forgot to step on the clutch. This made my husband panic too, when all the cars behind us honked very loudly. And, I got scolded by other drivers.
Not to mention my husband like to get mad, mad and mad when I start to get nervous. He nearly burst my eardrums, impatiently he taught me this stupid. And we started fighting constantly, luckily I love and ended the fight by trying to treat him to McDonald's ice cream. My husband is really cheap huh *lol.
He told me to learn to drive again next week, which made me happy. It turns out that there is another opportunity to correct my stupidity in driving.
In my mind, I think I have to be rich in order to have a private driver. Because driving is not a good thing for me. But, since I'm still very poor, learning to drive is the main survival skill right now.
Pray for me to be rich aunty *lol
See you in the next one.
