driving to an unfamiliar place
it is always terrifying to follow MapQuest
the guide’s voice might stop talking halfway there
or you might hear “turn there” after you have blown by an alleyway
if your phone rings while you are trying to follow, do you answer it?
Not if you have no idea where you are heading
I narrowly escape a panic attack every time I drive somewhere new
or somewhere I have not been for awhile
I am not the person who remembers how they got here the last six times
driving anywhere unfamiliar is a daymare for me
is it my age?
hello yes
I am also a small town girl
that doesn’t help me much
