A Heart to Heart Talk Got Us Lost

Last night was my friend Vivian’s birthday and she invited a few close friends to come out and celebrate her birthday. On the way home, she decided to drop off her two friends from Reno to their hotel first. When her friends left, she told me how she felt bad she didn’t invite some friends to come out. But at the same time, she thinks that since she moved to Reno and was gone for 4 years, her friendships with these people aren’t the same anymore. We were talking about how the friendships in our lives, and as we transition to adulthood, we will grow apart with each other and it’s just the way of life. Then we realized she was driving towards her home and we had to turn around because I didn’t make any plans to spend the night at her house.

So we drove towards the Las Vegas Strip and we were now talking about relationships and how she still holds a place in her heart for her first love. And even if she’s been with her current boyfriend for a year now and loves him, she still feels hurt how she and her first love couldn’t make it work. They couldn’t even be friends. She never met Andrew and so I told her about my dysfunctional relationship with him. We didn’t understand how the two of us were getting emotional over relationships that we thought were behind us. As the two of us were sitting there with tears rolling down our cheeks, we start laughing not because we were emotional wrecks over stupid boys but because we were lost again. We weren’t paying attention where we were going and the whole time she was driving, I just kept pointing to a street signaling Vivian to turn. We joked around how I’m not meant to go home. A Lesson learned. Never have heart to heart talk while driving. You will get lost!
