I wrote about stories of today with the idea of recording what life was. But I have been thinking deeper and deeper the necessity of recording what life is like. I am already on a 5 year diary (my second one), because I do think there is a great learning point in the mundane. Just that the learning is not done immediately. It can only be seen or appreciated 2 to 4 years later. Better yet, when this age and era is over. Then these words are priceless.
I failed my driving test for the first time today. I was actually really sad about it. I felt I let so many people down, but after the entire day of reflection, I think I let my instructor down the most. Everyone else is quite okay, and reminding me that they had all failed on their different times. It was comforting to know I was not alone.
What does it mean to not have every skillset when leading? I keep thinking about my current era of life, where I need to take some leadership roles, and I don’t know if I do have the right skills to make things work. I know I have friendships, and honestly, I think that’s my only skill sometimes.
But that’s not true and not fair to the many people who have taught me well and I have carried their actions as their legacy.
In any case, it was a sad day to fail driving for. I had a good tester, and the weather was great. Just bad silly mistakes that I will avoid in the next test, that I will pass.
