Dear Car,
Hi, I miss you terribly.
If you thought I appreciated you before, being away at school brings it to a whole new level. It’s weird, I’ve had a fair share of conversations with people that are solely about how you’re currently parked and untouched.
You’re my prized possession. Since that first day I took my drivers test, its been you and me. If you counted the miles we’ve traveled together, we’d probably circled the world twice now. Its crazy how much time we have spent together. There were all those days we spent driving to and from high school, mainly consisting of karaoke sessions and complaining about surrounding drivers. You, my mechanical friend, have been the center of so many adventures.
I want to say thank you for all those miles you have carried me. Thank you for taking me to see all my friends, and letting us all pile in. I have lost count of how many parking lots we have sat in for hours on end. You see, not only have you allowed me to make it to all these places, but you’ve let me create memories because I was there. Some of my fondest memories were made late at night, sitting in a parking lot with my friends, laughing at our stupidity.
Along with creating memories, you have given me a place to find solace. There have been plenty of times when I’ve been sad and I’ve gone to you and cried. All and all, I made my own little world within you. You were my first piece of independence, and I will never be able to appreciate you enough.
I am looking forward to these upcoming summer months when we will be driving all those miles again. Its on odd feeling being away from you. Every morning I get up and sometimes I forget that I don’t need to grab my car keys. One of the most exciting things about coming home is getting a chance to drive again, and having even just one small adventure with you. There will never be enough parking lots to sit in, and never enough songs to sing along to. People think it’s a little strange how much I talk about you, but I guess that’s just how it is. Maybe I do get a little too excited when I know I get to drive you again, but it is never going to stop.
One more month until I’m back home, meaning the dynamic duo will be reunited. There’s going to be plenty of opportunity for adventure with not only me, but all the friends we pick up on the way. Soon we’ll be driving down the road with the sun shining, and windows down. Music will be blaring, and I know I’ll be thrilled. Some people complain about driving, but I know I never will. I have the best driving companion out there, and they never leave my side. Only a few more weeks until we can get you out of the garage, and onto the open road.
Lots of love,
Me
