chicken tikka mariah @Mrhflrs In my teen years I was alone. Black car went off to "find themselves" in Joshua Tree and left me to fend for myself. This was the good times, or 2015, when parking only took 45 minutes instead of 3 hours. I once found a rat taking up an entire spot, eating Yashinoya from inside the bowl. We ended up dating for 3 years Then Black car returned- seemingly out of nowhere, yesterday to be exact after not seeing them for so long I regressed back to the early days of our trysts It was our longest one to date. And now publicly viewed on whatever instagram is. Is it about cars?! I think what I learned yesterday was that its not the person but the place you fall in love with. You see, if it weren't for only 2 available spots and 4,000 cars getting off at the same time, I would have never figured out how to love like I do. In parking spots. Oh K-Town you old so and so when the temperature rises ever so slightly, my heart follows suit. You've taught me so much in my old age that I can't even begin to thank you enough.
