I've always loved sunsets and drives during the night. A very specific sense of peace wraps around my mind during those times, either while I watch the sun disappear into the horizon or as I watch cars and buildings light up the night as I zoom pass. One of the main reasons why I want to learn how to drive. The cherry on top for it all is the right song. Since I was young, I've always associated songs to specific events or feelings. Some songs I always listen to, some I completely avoid, and others I save for special occasions. Sunsets and nightly drives to name a few.
Sometimes during these moments, I feel like I'm alone. Like I'm the only person in the world witnessing what's in front of me. The outside world is tuned out and it's as if time itself has slowed down to preserve the moment for me. Moments like these are, in my eyes, completely and utterly captivating. I often wish I could share this feeling with another person. Someone I won't mind keeping in this bubble of mine. This is one of the things I'll always keep my hopes up for.
It's amazing what the human mind can do. It can overwhelm you, underwhelm you, and put you in the space in between all in different contexts. I could be overwhelmed by joy just as I can be with sorrow. A person can be happy with being underwhelmed the same way they could be unhappy about it. All these emotions and all these contexts, cramped in between our ears, just ready to bombard us any time they see fit. This is why I appreciate being able to feel the way I do about sunsets and drives during the evening. In my 18 years of living, there's nothing quite like being able to experience and cherish these moments of serenity.
