Road

Take me home

Country roads

To the place

I belong

Roads don't always take us where we expect. Sometimes we think certain others are going to stay on the journey with us. However, some people just don't belong on the road with you. Sometimes they are in there and you have to navigate around them. Remember to trust them when they show you who they are and find relief in that. You don't have to listen to them or be obliged to them or cover up for them when they mess up. They messed up their relationship with you. Let them be.

And if they aren't on the road with you, also remember that it's one less person you have to share your roadtrip snacks with.
