pre-4th of july night ride

it's nice outside

I just texted J, you want to get fireworks with A?

• In the middle of the night.

  • We did it.

  • It was very spontaneous and it's a core memory now.

  • And they do this on a regular basis.

    • Just don't think, just do.

    • Do the things that are fun.

• I didn't think about it being a waste of time.

  • I just thought, we want fireworks.

    • Let's go to a bunch of these fireworks stores.

  • I'm willing to spend a hundred bucks on fireworks.

    • They were a lot more choosy on certain things.

      • They had taste.

      • They chose certain fireworks because they liked it.

      • They didn't think too hard.

• I didn't pick anything, I just watched.

  • There's still that overhead that I have that shouldn't exist.

    • Just be there, see things that are cool and do it.

    • Have fun.

• And then we went to Waffle House.

  • I was feeling like not going.

  • I was going to not go.

  • I'm glad I did.

  • Just be present and try new things.

    • I’d never gone to Waffle House.

    • I got a waffle and a disappointing hash brown, but it was funny.

      • And I'll remember it.

        • How many memories do I really have?

        • I don't have all that much.

• After Waffle House, we lit some of the fireworks around a high school, drove around doing pop-its, buying lighters, running away from cops.

  • It was fun.

  • We're going to do more tonight, which I'm excited for.

• I think I was better at talking today.

  • I just didn't talk when I was going to say things like, well, actually, or anything that wasn't thriving.

  • You don't need to say things.

  • You don't always need a response.

  • You don't always need to be right.

  • You just need to be.

• It was fun.
