The Joy Of Driving Late At Night

For all the night owls out there, this is something to enjoy at night.

The Joy Of Driving Late At Night
ebubble.com

Night time is typically associated with danger and warnings. Usually, it's never thought of as a time of comfort, freedom and power. Those are the feelings that I have while driving at night with my radio playing my favorite song.

The best part about driving at night is all the space you have to yourself on the road. Miles of open road all to yourself is something that you cannot experience in 7 'o clock traffic or noon traffic. Not even in the evening are you safe from traffic. When you're driving late at night, you don't have to worry about stopping each second. The road is yours! The lights also stay green the majority of the time. If they do turn red, it won't keep you stopped for long. Having this time to myself on the road is a comforting feeling since it truly makes me feel alone. And in a world that wants to be connected 24/7, it's good to get some alone time to be yourself and sing.

Singing is something that everyone wants to enjoy but rarely has the time to. Nobody wants to bust out singing the chorus to "Hello" by Adele on the side of the street. That’ll result in cringe worthy awkwardness. But in the comfort of your own car, everyone can find their inner musician. And with your voice melding into the melodies of the song, you start to think you actually sound good. I know I thought that while I was singing to the top of my lungs "The Phoenix" by Fallout Boy. Since I rarely get to sing without the fear of someone over hearing, singing in my car has become a very euphoric feeling. Especially the rush of the song. It just makes me want to sing louder and drive faster.

Speeding is such a taboo action. With all the speed limits, speeding tickets, etc, nobody wants people to drive fast, but it's such a fun feeling. Even without the feel of wind flowing through my hair, driving fast just makes me feel so powerful. For just a moment in time I can break limits. I have complete control. Even if it's just ten miles over the speed limit, it still was worth experiencing. If you're ever going to do this, then be careful of yourself and others.

If you ever have any expendable gas or find yourself driving back home at night then trust me, you'll enjoy the ride. Put on your favorite tunes, sing your heart out and speed your worries away. In this moment of time, you own the world.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
