Shannon's BAMM 2.0 Journal

Hope that the steamroller in your life dissipates quickly. I know what you mean about cars though. I remember when I was saving up money to get my first car and I didn't just want any old car. I could have easily gotten a reliable Honda or Toyota but I really really really wanted a sports car! The only problem was that it seemed out of reach at the time. I made a promise to myself that I'd wait as long as necessary and drive my dad's old car but I wasn't going to settle this time. I was going to get the car that I wanted. That was definitely and important decision for me and shaped how I approached life quite a bit. The importance of living life on your own terms and not settling was what it symbolized for me. I did end up buying my first car about two years later and it was a beautiful sports car inside and out. It still make me glow thinking about it even today. It's brought me a lot of happy memories and I must admit that simply owning that car made me feel and act differently. Almost like it gave me permission to shine if you will. It was a great feeling the day I purchased it myself and drove off the lot. Got lots of great compliments on it over the years. It's getting on it's last legs now and I'm seriously thinking of selling it off but there is something special about that first car that you buy yourself. Best of luck in getting your sports car! Do you know which model you want?
