NO SENSE OF DIRECTION

There are times when I entertain a little self-pity because I didn't learn how to drive a car. Nowadays everybody seems to know how to drive a car and usually has a car of his own.

I sink a bit every time I go around for whatever purpose with a woman on the wheels. When I was young/old enough to learn how to drive, our family didn't have a car which I could use for practice driving. I didn't have the guts either to use the car of other people.

Furthermore, even if I learned how to drive I would have find it difficult to go places because I have that peculiar sense of disorientation about directions. Just a turn from a corner and I am completely lost.

Even in the province where I was born I am wondering why there are some places where my sense of direction is completely distorted and I cannot, no matter how much I try, put it in order.

I find it difficult to work away or far from where I live for in fact, even where I live, my sense of direction is completely opposite. What is south is north and what is east is west. Thanks God, my sense of down and up are still correct.
