High On Life

My best friend and I are in my car.We are going down the road, with nowhere in particular to be. Plans have been made to see a movie. Right now we are just killing time.

Earlier today, I picked her up from the airport. And we are hanging out and catching up. It’s a nice day and we are having so much fun. The music is cranked up, and I am singing along to my favorite song.

I think to myself, that right now, I am high on life. I have my best friend beside me, and we are having a care free fun day. At the moment, I don’t have a care in the world. All my thoughts and concerns have scattered to the four winds. I feel alive! Rare times like these, where you are so in the moment and everything is the way it should be.

I have a full tank of gas, and I am not in a hurry to get where I am going. We are taking our time getting there. We aren’t even following a planned route. Everything is happing in a random way. but that’s ok. I think to myself, how I wish I could feel like this all the time.
