Down the road not too far ago i went to Florida. Tampa, St Pete to be exact. I just needed to get away from this place. I had too many memories here that needed to be forgotten just to make myself happy. I hopped on a plane and took a personal vacation away from myself, my life, my problems.
Over that week I honestly believe i rediscovered myself as a person. I was alone on a balcony over looking I-98 and I just watched the cars fly by. The moon reflected off the traffic like a mirror. As those cars faded I thought of pretty much everything. I thought of my life, my father, my job and my future. These deep thoughts just overtook me and inspired me. I asked myself "Do I want to keep being this way?" I always put everything off to the side or just didn't care sometimes. I sat back and watched the cars fly. They flew down the expressway along with my broken memories and some of the times I would just love to forget.
I cant in anyway wish thoughts and experiences away because they made me the person I am today. I wish i could see myself in the future writing columns for a magazine or a newspaper close to home.
For now i can just keep thinking of that highway and only one thing comes to my mind. The wonderful lyrics penned by Tom Cochran,
"Life Is A Highway, I Wanna Ride It All Night Long"
