I let fear get in the way of doing the things I have to do. I don't know if it's because I was raised by two protective parents who always restricted me from what's out there but I feel as if I am behind. My parents didn't exactly teach me to do things I would do as an adult. My dad would do everything for me, not because I wanted him to but because he felt the need to like if he was the brain of the house and also didn't want me to grow.

I am now 23 years old and my husband has been the one who pushes me out there.

There is a particular fear that I am currently dealing with and MUST overcome. It's driving. My husband taught me how to drive about a year and half now. I have drove by myself nearly less than six times. I am starting school next year and will possibly have to drive by myself and probably have to take the highway.

I feel that I know how to drive but I get soo nervous that I allow myself to make mistakes. I fear it so bad, I fear hurting someone else and myself. I fear that I am on the road and no one knows that I am still learning. It hurts me because I know a few people who are 16-20 and they know and have that fire to drive, they actually want to do it.

But, like many things in life I let fear get in the way.
