Nostalgic
Today I was listening to Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors and the album Medecine started playing and I had such an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia and honestly sadness that I had to stop working and just sit for a minute and listen.
After my sophomore year of college I was about leave for Europe to live for six months and I decided before I embarked on that journey that I needed some time for me, so I packed up my car and drove from Tennessee to New York and then down to Florida. I visited friends, saw whatever I wanted to, and smoked more packs of ciggerettes then I care to mention. But every time I would get back on the road I would listen through the entirety of Medicine. I probably listened to the whole thing 20 times through that summer and it was one of the best things I've ever done for myself.
Thinking about it now it's happy memories, but as I get ready to get married and I'm working two jobs to support us and get us out of debt I can't help but think about that time I was so free with a little sadness. I've been to Paris and Barcelona, London and Versailles, but nothing was as freeing and beautiful as driving by myself for days on end just seeing everything. I know that this new chapter of t life will bring its own magic and adventures and happiness, I just feel so stuck sometimes.
Anyway, that's my story. Also my advice: take a solo road trip. Just do it. You'll thank yourself
