I finally passed my driving test, but instead I feel empty as if all those failures were leading to something bigger, is this normal? (lemmy.ml)

Congratulations! The fact you passed is a testament that you are comfortable enough behind the wheel to be trusted with driving a vehicle independently. But it really is more a milestone than an end-goal, what you do with that from here is up to you. You could choose never to drive again but still renew your license every 5 years.

If you're in the area (Vancouver, Canada), we could hold a "Mike Hunt passes their driving test" two-person celebratory parade.

I get the feeling of working hard and then being exhausted and emotionally drained afterward, but I'd be very interested to know what you were expecting out of all of this.
