Wonderful Jenn! Great tension build up, then release with the tears and ending on quiet.

This is so wonderful. I can’t tell you how many times I want to just get in the car and drive, drive, drive until the stresses of my world dissipate. Well done.

The drive is one thing but the stars and silence of the night….perfect

Helluva story! I sometimes want to do just that – keep driving beyond the edge of reason or good sense or what’s allowed, and just GO!
Thanks for reading! You should do it one weekend! I do it with my dog in the passenger seat.
Funny, I want to do it most often when I’m driving to work 😉
Ha! Same here!
How important it is to unwind this way and let the vastness of the world swallow up all your angst. Beautifully written.
Thank you
