I Took a Solo Road Trip, and Here's What I Learned

Here is something you should know about me. I'm a pretty smart person. I have a master's degree. But sometimes it's hard for me to figure out little details. Like, which side the gas tank is on. This is because someone else — like my father, brother, or then-husband — would handle those things. I was a female, I was traveling alone, and I was in completely uncharted territory. I had to learn how to step back, take a breath, and solve my own problems. I have taken this with me in life.
