The Place Where Nothing can Bother Me
My place is my car. In my car, I can be alone with myself. Not alone with my phone, not alone on my computer, not alone but thinking about all the things I should or could be doing, but alone with myself. I'm not anywhere being distracted by anything; I am in between. A quick moment of thoughtfulness can be had here in the midst of a busy day, or I can go on a long drive to sort my thoughts. I can think about what I want or need to think about and the only thing I'm legally allowed to be distracted by is the road. My ideal moment is in my car, windows down, music blaring, pink scarf around the mirror dancing in the wind. Then, I'm alone with myself in the best way.
