Driver

 I think that sometimes we all get tired of driving. I feel like the transition is undetectable though. You don’t realize that anything has changed until you decide that you get tired of looking out of the window at the passing scenery. It dawns on you then that you haven’t been driving for a while. I always forget that, even though it happens often. Autopilot switches on with no one the wiser, especially you. 

The switch back isn’t always as seamless. It hurts sometimes, no matter how much stretching you do. How much you mentally prepare, or how the seat fits your butt just so. It’s like you’re just tired of being in the car. 

I think this time I’m going to walk for a bit. No more ‘arriving’ without remembering how you got there in the first place. 

It’s scary to think about. Lonely when it’s just your feet. Everything is changing so fast.
