Vacations Seem Impossible
It's been a year and I haven't had my own car. I know lots of people don't have a car and that should be no big deal, but I'm just not the same without my own car. I accepted that I couldn't afford it anymore. I'm old, on a fixed income, and I just don't have the spending money like I did way back when. Plus, I've never known anything about fixing cars, and they all break down at some point. It was driving me insane - literally. I would get so depressed. Though I am happier that I'm not spending a fortune on a car, I haven't gone anywhere in a year. Nowhere. The most exciting trip I've been on in a year is to the local Walmart. That's pretty pathetic to me, especially when I know that I suffer from Wanderlust. Oh yeah, I got bit by the Wanderlust bug big time back in 2018. I've always loved traveling, but when I got into Road Tripping, I fell in love with travel even more.
