maturity?

perspective. a few days ago my car insurance ran out and I'm trying to figure out what to do about it. not driving my car would be one option, but it's not a very fun option. I haven't had to regularly bus since I was out west. the odd thing is that 5 years ago I wouldn't have cared one way or the other whether I had insurance or not. I still sort-of don't, but the fact I'm actually thinking about it has me flustered... but anyway, perspective. I drove out of the grocery store parking lot and through an intersection. someone drove out and took a turn directly in front of me and nearly drove into my car. luckily they saw me in time and stopped. some people, myself included, would be rather upset with that person, as I could clearly see the person looking over their shoulder into the back seat of their car while they took the turn. luckily there was a passenger that told them not to drive into me. i was not upset with the person, I was happy they stopped and didn't smash into me, because I had no insurance and I would have been fucked sideways like a two dollar hooker on the tilt-a-whirl. so no anger just plain relief. it's all perspective. it made me think how silly it is to get upset about something as silly as driving mistakes. everyone makes em, everyone hates em, but they are a fact of life on the road. I rarely get upset with other drivers, I'm too mellow for such silliness, but even I have my limits... but after today, I think my limit has been raised a lot higher. I'm too young and too happy to stress over simple mistakes. I still don't know what will happen with my insurance, it's so damn expensive. but whatever, the worst that could happen is I'd get in trouble, and I do that with or without insurance.
