You drive in circles and circles and circles in a stuffy car constantly searching for the best possible space. Stopped and waiting for person after person who clearly find it acceptable to walk in the middle of the street Gritted teeth Fingers gripped, indenting the cushioning of your steering wheel You imagine your parking angels laughing at your ridiculous prayers playing harps to accompany your misery. You felt as if you haven't taken a breath in quite some time as your sweat-drenched collar seems to be tightening. Frustration is digging ulcers as if you're ready to just crash your car right into the front of the store and,
Finally
you just settle for the space in the way back. Nothing to exactly brag about at your next dinner party. Settling is a part of life you suppose. The door slams and you lock it. A few paces in and well, you find yourself surprisingly enjoying the long walk, this scenic route. You remember how nice it is to actually be outdoors and to see some clouds and birds and empty noiseless air. You laugh a little to yourself You slow your steps and breathe. A car honks at you for standing in the middle of the street.
