when driving ain't cool

When I was a little girl, I am dreaming to be an independent young lady when I grow up. Growing up, my experiences taught me to be like one but at the same time some forces are pulling me back to my save point. I'm doing what I can do to be the girl of my dreams. I am taking baby steps towards achieving my dreams, from being the party girl to passing the board exam to studying medicine to learn how to drive and to have my own ride.

I rmb during those late 90's afternoon after school, I jump in to my grand father's car to play driver. The engine was off, ofcourse. Imagining what was it like to be really on the road and your hands on the steering wheel. maneuvering.  

Fast forward, a decade after that, I enrolled into a driving school, I learned the basics of driving. That is when I realized that driving isn't just driving, it requires skills and consciousness and and, complete sanity. 

My parents bought me  wheels a week after I learned how to drive to continue what I've learned from the driving school that I was enrolled to. When the car was delivered, I can't get too excited because of the fear that I'm feeling. I guess, most of newbie drivers feels the same way too.

I practiced everyday with the help of our two drivers. Thank God for their patience , or else.... I'll definitely go bonkers.

Everyday practiced helped me to improved my driving skills, but it doesn't take away my fear to be alone in the road full of horning, speeding cars.

I searched for feeds, zen driving, expieriences of other fellow newbie drivers over the intraweb to ease my fears. It helped me calm down a bit.  And, like the Ol' saying goes, " be shopping your inspiration for driving". And, I say, It works for me, though my first experience wasn't as good and easy as it appears to be.

But, after a month of driving, even if I'm itching to drive alone, my fears won't let me. I want to learn to be independent on the road. I want to go to whatever land place I am itching to be. I need to build my road confidence, but my fear won't let me. 

confidence. fear
confidence. on the road. a must.

Can you save a Damsel in Distress? Is there such a thing like that of what we've read in "magic" book pages when we were a little kid? Every girl dreams to be rescued by a Prince in whatever ride in one point of their life. Even the toughest girls, Ohpleasedon'tdeny.
