road trip

Life is in many ways akin to a road trip. We have a destination (whether or not we know it), we take certain roads to lead us there, and we go through a series of states - some longer than others, some more exciting than others.

Going through a big, empty state can be boring, and even painful - you can't wait till you get to a more lively state where you can begin to really enjoy it. But perhaps it's best not to get too anxious about getting to the next state line. Maybe if we explored our current state, we would be able to appreciate it for what it really is, and get the most out of it.

you were an island, and i passed you by
when you were an island to discover

Good way to think of a 17 hour drive across the country. :)
