The Road Trip 🚗

I feel like I have over hyped or over romanticized a lot of things in my life. Not just things but people. Kinda how we hold our parents to such a high standard until we realize they are just shitty humans too. I’ve done this with many things in life and now I’m just left to see how mundane and grey things are unless you put in immense effort to not feel that way.

I'm so vanilla, but making dinner for myself and my husband feels so rewarding. Him saying how delicious it tastes, just the act of cooking when I slow down and do it mindfully, the outcome of eating something you made. Even something just like mac & cheese.

Enjoy the mundane things.

I sit in a a hot car in a grocery store parking lot. The car is off to save gas, so the air conditioning is off too. I sweat out every drop of bittersweet tea I’ve drunk in the past week. The tea tastes bad today; the sugar granules haven’t dissolved. I enjoy it anyway. I consume my second bagel. Today I got contrasting flavor profiles, salty then sweet. A song that begins as a lullaby and ends in screams of terror plays on a loop. I did not intend the loop, but technology has a mind of its own, and higher powers than my own feeble will have decided this music bears repeating. I stare at asymmetrical rows of palm trees and contemplate the human condition. It is July again. I think I might be healing.
