New Car
Hey gems
After years of
people hassling me about why I don't have my own car, watching all my
friends get their first cars, and daydreaming about the day I would have my
own, the day has finally come! I am now the proud owner of a compact SUV! It
finally feels as though the wait was worth it now that I have my very own car!
(Also known as Troy the Truck- yes, I name my car)
I didn't think it would mean so
much to me, but this car really does make me proud of all my hard work, savings
and makes the wait to own a car worth it. I've spent 7 years sharing cars with
my parents and watching everyone around me show off their first cars. I am
proud to say that I can now be the driver that takes the girls out on
shopping days, drives on date night and can go do the groceries- not that I
want to do the groceries!
I only began to truly want my own
car when I started working full time. The desire for a car really amplified
recently when I went on my third road trip and once again, we used my friend's
car because I didn't have one. I thought getting my own would really feel
practical and nothing more, but boy was I wrong. I have pride, a newfound sense
of independence and damn my car is cute!
I must admit that the most annoying
portion of getting a car was the shopping, looking at all the options, used or
old, Mini Cooper to Honda and every option in between. It was exhausting but
finally worth it.
So, for anyone planning on getting
a car or feeling as though it is the right time to do so, I say go for it! But
if it isn't your time, be patient, save up, and be kind to yourself. Sometimes
timing works out in the best way and you couldn't have planned it better
yourself. A slow pace isn't a bad pace.
So, take things slow my gems and be
patient with the timing of life, it will reward you eventually.
Talk soon gems
