Sometimes you have to make a big effort for something that you want.


There is this new trend of not forcing people to do things that they don't want to, which is excellent, but also if it's something that they NEED to do. We, humans, have obligations, things that we don't want to do at all, but we have to. Life is like that. You have to do things you don't want to, and you have to deal with it. You can't cry your way out of it or say no. That isn't an option. So you just do it and deal with it internally, as nobody cares if you want to do the thing or not. They just care that you do it. That is what it is like being an adult.

In the story below, we encounter a girl who I actually feel sorry for. She doesn't want to learn how to drive a car. She's afraid of it. Unfortunately, she has no way out of learning, as she needs to if she's going to move to her aunt's house. She HAS to learn. Even if she's afraid, even if she doesn't want to. She has time and resources to do so, but she can't wrap her head around it. And I get it. It's hard. But the only way that she gets to live with her aunt is by learning to drive. So she needs to weigh the choices and see if this fear is going to dictate her life or if she will.

She has another option, one she doesn't like. She can move to another family member's house. It's not ideal, and it would be better for her to live with her aunt. But that decision is completely up to her. Either she learns and gets what she wants, or she doesn't and deals with the consequences of it. She has to make that choice, not her fear, not her family. She has. And I'm sure that if she tries, she's going to succeed. So let's hope she ends up learning and living where she wants.
