RE: A Teenage Mistake

That trauma can be no joke! Shit happens in life, and I guess technically our brains are still developing until we hit 25. So wanting to wait makes total sense and I get it.

But (and I know this is a old post but since we are friends now I went looking haha) I would say that you didn't hurt anyone and you were able to learn from a mistake and be better going forward. Try driving again in a safe controlled environment to build up the courage again. Driving can be freedom for some and being limited because of past trauma is only effecting you negatively!

But as someone who lost a family member to a drunk driver years ago, I know all too well that life and end in a instant and so 1) Try not to live in fear or regret as it negatively effects you. Learn from mistakes and grow and do better. 2) You didn't do anything unforgettable and if you focus on the good things of that accident. You started off bad but you saved a kids life and did the right thing as a driver.

Okay my therapy TED Talk is over :)

but HI, keep up the posts!
