I would try for my drivers license again. Not fear failure.

I would take a road trip, by myself, visit all the places that are dear to me, visit the family I should never have grown apart from. No time frame. No stress. Just me and the engine.

I would go to school with no fear of debt, of failure. No fear of completing my degree and finding it all meant nothing.

I would blow off this job and go into something that I felt was truly making a difference, even if it doesn't make me rich.

I would ask a beautiful woman out on a date. With no expectations. No fear of rejection. No plans for a life together, nothing beyond the one night that should be enjoyable for the two of us. If it doesn't work out, I'm still me. She's still her. And it's not the end of the world.

I would not constantly worry about what the future might look like.

I would get out of my way. Because that's the only thing that is really holding me back.

Me.

Peace.

That's very well written Max. I hope your dreams come true.

I'm sitting here actually wondering if I have crossed over into the Twilight Zone. Almost everything you've said is a mirror image of myself.

I haven't had a license in 10 years, I fell asleep behind the wheel twice and nearly wrecked both times. I decided to just stop driving rather than risk injury or death to myself or someone else. I want to drive again but I keep putting it off for fear the same thing will happen again.

If I did drive again, There's so many places I want to visit but not lengthy road trips.

I dropped out of school during my sophomore year and always wanted to go back but never did. I know it's not too late but I am 42 now and I lost the desire to go back years ago.


I've already given up on working for someone else.

I've never had the courage to ask a girl out beautiful or otherwise. My brother was married to a very pretty girl who treated him and the rest of us like dirt. He finally divorced her after he found out she was running around on him with a man 30 years older. I would rather date a plain jane type that treated me nice than someone like her who doesn't give a damn who she hurts.
