Drive!

 I DONT DRIVE! yup, thats right. i’m a 30 year old man living on my own and i dont drive. never have. idk if i ever will. right now i am ok with that fact. my only problem is that i think it turns women off. but i’m of the mind that if its enough to keep you from giving me a chance than we’re not meant to be. because if your into me, my not driving should not "drive" you away. 

i know your wondering, so let me try my best to explain. i have a slight phobia. i say its slight because i can and have been behind the wheel. my phobia use to be a lot worse. i would shake behind the wheel and couldnt stop shaking. now i have driven and can even parallel park. i just struggle going fast (over 30-35 mph). but its something i am working on slowly. my psych professor told me its normal and lots of people avoid highways and going over a certain speed. No, i do not have a clear reason for what caused my phobia. we have some ideas, but nothing definite. 

i know it limits me in many ways. but it also has it benefits. i ha no car payment, no insurance payment, and gas prices dont affect me. also there are plenty of cities that pride themselves on their public transit system and how bike/walk friendly they are. so maybe i’ll end up in one of these cities. idk..
