I've never owned a car in my life. I've always lived in places where public transport was sufficient or within walking distance of wherever I needed to go.
I've had a lot of things go wrong for me in the last few months, but my family motto has helped me through it - "if it isn't an arse, it's an elbow!"
It may not be a typical motto, or in any way inspirational, but it's a reminder that things go wrong and we continue nonetheless and don't allow them to bog us down.
I just thought about that. If I lived in a city like New York for example, there would be no need for a car due to the public transportation..
"if it isn't an arse, it's an elbow!" I like that saying. It sticks in my head.
