Third Time's a Charm

Hello everybody,

I guess fate decided that I should write today, at this time, so here goes another post.

If I recall correctly, my last post was about priorities and doing what you need for your best self. Well, I may be glad to say that so far I have been keeping my responsibilities in line. So, here is a quick little story that may inspire you. Or it might be just a little story to entertain you, but that is all up to you. I just feel like sharing something I'm happy about.

Last year, way back when, I took the test for my learner's permit. And I failed.

The thing is, and this I have learned now, I didn't study properly for this test. Maybe I didn't study hard enough, or I barely studied, or I just assumed it was easy and was being too cocky about the whole situation. Anyone of those choices could be true, or all of them, but it all led to the same result.

I spent a year throwing it off, because I didn't feel like opening that up during my school year since I had already a lot on my plate. But as I was tucking away that test every month, every day, it was only until too late that I realized that I was behind. At my age, I'm supposed to already have my actual driver's license, but yet I was still at the beginner stage. So, it was only until recently that I realized I needed to get my butt going.

I studied. I want to say I studied harder. I want to say that I studied a lot. But, it was probably the fear of failure that kept me on my toes in finally passing this test. I had done a solid week going over the rules of the road until I figured it was time for me to catch up to the rest of my peers. And at last I did pass the test.

I'm sharing this quick little story because I want every one of you to know that there are some events in life that you can climb back on. If you fail a road test, even though it's worth a sum of money, you can work harder than you did last time and prove your past self wrong. There aren't very many things that allow you to take second chances, so don't take them for granted and use them sparingly. I have learned this now.

I want to try my best to keep this blog alive. And even though I'm watering it every couple months, just know that I am still here, it's just that I'm trying to water myself too and keeping myself alive haha. In any case, I shall see you all next time.

Keep Smiling,
M-L
