takin' my time on my ride

Well. it makes sense that when I look at this video I get a little bummed because it doesn't look as cool as I wanted it to... or I imagined while driving. But thus is technology.

Anyways, Michelle here. What's up dawgs.

Today and last night I spent a decent amount of time in my car driving... just enough to get the mind thinking, but not too much to make it sleep.
On my first drive last night I got thinking how happy I was... which is super shocking actually. Not that I'm not a happy person, but lately life has been a little insane, and I wouldn't fist pump and say "THIS IS THE HAPPIEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE." 
At the same time you probably wouldn't see me in the corner of a dark bar alone hunched over a scotch on the rocks and reflecting on sadness and stuff...
Although who knows give it a few weeks and Nick and I will probably we found the corner of the Lounge or some other bar pounding our fist on the table about something or the other.
But we are happy people... I promise.

Ha, I'm just somewhere floating along.
but, like I was saying... Last night it hit me that I was really "happy." And not despite all the shit that happens in life, but actually because all of it.
I don't know, it's like sometimes in life you get hit with these little glimpses of satisfaction.
You see the sky and the road differently.
You lean back in you seat and just take in life.
Maybe you wish you could take a snap shot or a video (like I attempted) to soak up EVERYTHING. But the part that stinks is that time doesn't work like that. 
Time moves and moves, and moments in which we are cherishing become moments we cherish. But, we still take it in. As much as we can, to hold on to, to move us forward, to look back at when we lose that glimpse and forget what is life. (A typical thing I tend to forget here and there...)
And there doesn't even need to be anything significant to take in. 
Just life itself.
well.... that's pretty darn significant though.

Today, while taking a two hour drive to the homeland, 
I was jamming out to a solid CD in my car. Ride by twentyonepilots came on.
If you don't listen to them, you probably should. 


One part of the song says,
"I've been thinking too much, (I've been thinking too much)
I've been thinking too much, (Help me)

I've been thinking too much, (I've been thinking too much)
I've been thinking too much
Oh, oh I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride
Oh, I'm falling, so I'm taking my time my timeeeeeeeeee.
Taking my time on my ride."

"I've been thinking too much,

Oh, oh, I'm falling.... but I'm taking my time on my ride."

I don't know.
I discussed the "meaning of life" today
with my friend Sam.
Sometimes that phrase... makes me want to barf.
Because it seems so over thought,
so far out,
so unattainable.
But twentyonepilots
have a point here.
I've been thinking too much.
Oh.
I'm falling,
but I guess I'll take my time on my ride.

... you take it from here.
