We were young, had curiosity, time
and fewer responsibilities... Most of my best friends grew up in the same neighborhood.
Yet, none of us took the time to drive down
random roads tilted "not a though street", find new parks, admire and
complement houses and truly know and become aware of the place we live in... we decided to take that time. Therefore, night after night my friends and I
would spend hours and hours driving around the neighborhood, not arriving back
to our homes until crazy hours in the morning. During thess random nightly car rides we would
every once and a while stop by a 24/7 gas station pack up on goodies and then drive
aimlessly. While snacking and snaking through the streets, we would allow ourselves
to speak our minds and concerns in a judge free zone. I wouldn’t trade the memories those conversations
for anything in the world.
On one
of these many drives Emily and I had the discussion of if we wrote blog what the
titles would be and why. We had many profound thoughts among others that only made us laugh. That was years ago, I now live two hours from home and
that beautiful neighborhood and Emily is living in another state. To the honor of those late night drives I’m
going to start writing my blog…
