The Truth About Truths

I usually like to write about something after I’ve gotten to the other side of it; however, I think this process is a bit different.

I’ve never learned to drive because I don’t have peripheral vision.

I have repeated that sentence thousands of times.

I said it to a dear friend the other day who did something nobody else had ever had the nerve to do. She looked at me and said,”Really?”- and then proceeded to test that fact and found out in that moment it wasn’t true, it was a limiting belief. I don’t know if it was when I was an adolescent, but it never ever dawned on me to question it- so I have suddenly learned that something I thought was the truth about me wasn’t.

The emotional pain I have been feeling for the last 24 hours is some of the deepest I have ever known. I called my elderly mother to ask her about it- and she said- “That’s what your father said that the doctor said so we all just accepted it. Why, did you want to learn to drive? Are you going to learn now?”

Wow. Great questions. The one question that has haunted me for the last day is this one-

What other truths about me delivered by authority figures did I accept as truth- that wasn’t?

Fascinating… I will keep you in the loop.
