Vroom vroom. Beep beep. Basketball.

I don’t care what anyone else says. Forget friends, family, being in love, having kids, getting married, getting a promotion, graduating college, paying off student loans, hearing your parents say they’re proud of you, looking in the mirror and liking the person you see, seeing the number ‘69’ in any context whatsoever, seeing the number ‘420’ in any context whatsoever, having a birthday, waking up on Christmas as a kid, spending hours on a meal to have it turn out delicious, getting little gifts for your significant other and seeing their eyes light up when they receive it, cuddling with a dog on a cold day, watching the sun set, finishing a passion project, reconnecting with a friend for the first time in years, recovering from being sick and having that one moment where you feel fine and truly appreciate what it’s like being healthy, finally realizing that Shake and Bake has the words in that order for a reason, when a cat decides you’ve earned their presence for a minute or two or a romantic evening with a person you love. The best thing in life is driving a golf cart in a place a golf cart doesn’t usually go.
