Being in a long-distance relationship, I do a lot of driving to go visit my boyfriend. Throughout this drive, which is three to four hours, I get a lot of random thoughts that pop up in my head, especially if I am driving alone. To be honest, if there was someone else in the car with me during my road trips, they would think I am pretty weird - which I am.
1. " Should I even go?"
Whenever I start driving I literally start asking myself if this drive is worth it (sorry, babe).
2. "What playlist should I listen to?"
Choosing a playlist for a long drive is super important. It could literally help set your mood and get you pumped for your trip.
3. "Is it safe to watch Netflix while on the road?"
Sometimes I've had considered on putting on Netflix and set my phone on the dashboard so I can catch up on shows while driving. But that is obviously not a good idea.
4. "I wonder if other people wonder what kind of music other drivers are listening to."
I always want to know what kind of music people jam to while they drive. Because sometimes they look like they are really into it and I want to jam, too.
5. "Why the heck are people driving slow?"
When people drive below 70 mph on the turnpike, it drives me mad. Like, you shouldn't be on the turnpike if you are going to be driving 45 mph. I feel like I'm not making any progress on my trip.
6. "Did I forget anything?"
Usually half an hour into my trip, I try to remember if I packed everything. I just keep on driving trying to remember if I forgot something. Normally, I do forget something.
7. "Should I make a pit stop?"
I always contemplate on whether I should make a pit stop or just keep going. It is technically a short drive, but whenever mother nature calls... you never know if you should keep going or make a quick stop.
8. "Why are you riding my butt?"
People who drive really close to my car irks the heck out of me. Like, what is the point to tailgate me when there are three other lanes you can drive in? Sometimes I wish I could break-check them so they can learn their lesson to keep their distance.
9. "I want to check my phone so bad."
Like almost everyone else, I, too, get the urge to text and drive or scroll through Instagram while I am driving. I typically control myself and wait until I reach my destination, but it kills me to know that I have no idea what is happening on Twitter while I drive.
10. "Am I almost there yet?"
I've gone through most of the playlist and yet, I have not reached my destination.This is when I start asking the infamous question. Sometimes driving long distances feel dragged out and you just feel like you've made no progress.
11. "I'm finally here!"
Ahhh yes... the moment I have been waiting for: Finally being able to pull up to my destination.The feeling you have when you get to turn off your car and step out of it is amazing. After being trapped for a few hours, it feels good to be able to walk around and stretch your legs.
