I am so happy...


Licensed


I went to church this morning
which is not unusual in itself
However, I went ALONE

Never has being alone felt so good

I used to hate driving
when I had my learner's permit
It was intimidating and scary

But something changed...

Being in a car, going somewhere
under your own volition
no one keeping watch over you

There is an incredible sense of freedom in that

I didn't want to go home afterward
I took myself to lunch
I tried to think of other places to go

I ended up simply going back to my house

But the instant I got there
I wanted to turn around and leave
To just drive off somewhere

It's kind of silly

I need an excuse to drive someplace else...

Great poem. I remember when I got my license and had the same feeling of excuses, I just wanted to go places, it was a feeling of power, independance, adventure until I had to pay for the fuel and I was stuck at home again, life is good, life is free.
