My Testy Ride

My Testy Ride Loading into the back seat of a Grand AM with three of my cousins, belted in for a 3 hour joy ride. Sitting behind my cousin with his chair leaning far back, I’m surrounded on all sides. My head starts to spin; I’m losing my mind, if I stay back here my planets will collide. Six Flags was going to be fun, but it will have to be fun without me because I’m out of this ride! My sweet sister-in-law relinquishes her front seat for me, saving my face by being very kind. I’m glad I spoke up and admitted my fear; sometimes it pays to show our vulnerable side. That day I learned to open up and share my truth; revealing my weakness, instead of trying to hide. We all have fears, that day we all learned that in each other we could always confide.
