VW for sale

It's a sad day.

I posted my Volkswagen beetle on craigslist two days ago, and I have since received two emails of interest. I laid in bed this morning knowing that I have to wash and clean up the car so that I can send out pictures to people who want to take my VW. I didn't want to get up because I know that a little part of me will die when the car is gone.

Honestly, who knows how long it will take to sell this car. It might be today... but it might not be for a few months, but I'm selling it.

My bug has literally become a part of me.

I love when people tell me that my car fits me. I love when people don't know me, but when they see my car they get that I am more bubbly than the average joe. I love when someone comes in from a parking lot and asks if I drive a little orange bug. I love to smile and say "Yes, how did you know?!"

I've been in turmoil this morning over whether I should sell this thing or not. It has gotten me through so much. 8 trips home when I lived in San Diego. Countless tearful drives when I've been hurt or frustrated. I've been fired up in prayer in that car. I've written songs in that car. I've lost my voice from singing in that car. It's been filled with sand. It's been in many photo shoots for class. I've had so many smiles and memorable talks in that car.

With a quick fix (thanks Daddy) it is revived from the dead... each and every time. I know that if I was to put a little money into it, the bug would go for many more miles... but is that what I want? Or do I need something more practical? Something more suitable for driving to visit friends at school, or if I do end up moving away?

For now, it's for sale.

I guess I can still change my mind... right? I guess if it's gone I can always get another one.... right?
