Everything is going to be okay.

I went driving again today. At first I didn't want to because I had to do a bit more chores than usual and had to finish it before dinner but my dad took me driving anyway. He drove the car into a road with less cars. I drove in that, this time driving on my side of the road instead of in the center like I did before when I wasn't as used to driving. It's only my third time, but after, I drove on the actual road and pulled into our driveway when we got home. I'm still trying to figure out keeping consistent speed and breaking for a turn. I was always a bit scared to drive, thinking I can't do anything right so I'd just crash. I don't know how fast other people learn to drive but I feel like being able to drive on the main road and even pulling into my driveway is good for my third time.

Today I drove the car again. It was on another dirt road since I'm not good enough yet to drive on the road. It was the second time I drove the car and there were turns. It feels weird to turn right now. I turn the wheel enough and I know it because the car turns enough but it doesn't feel like it was good. I know it's 'cause I'm not used to it though. We also went into the forest where it's land we own. Down the trail, my dad, uncle and all of them have a camera and thing of salt set up to see animals and there's a high up cabin they built to hunt in. While driving back out, I saw a rabbit.

I remembered about this and thought I'd write about something good that happened. I passed my written drivers test on my fourth try. Last monday, my dad took me in the car and drove me to a long empty road where he had me drive for the first time. I was able to drive straight down the road. I wasn't used to it yet so it was a bit shaky but I drove the car mostly on my own. He made me turn around in a driveway and he moved the steering wheel since I couldn't do that myself yet, but I did press the gas and stuff. I drove a car. I never really wanted to do it that much but now it feels like once I have my lisence, at least I'll be able to leave way more.

This is entry one, like a little diary. I like to write like a diary online, but for this one, I'll make sure it's more positive. I'll try that. I want to have a plant.
