when you are feeling intense emotion and are unable to release it and also don't have a therapist i find that sitting in silence in your car is just about the next best thing. it it happening right now to me and there is even a car in front of me with a wacky license plate that i get to look at. How fun!

the best version of this is in your driveway, just outside your suburban home, but city street parking works in a pinch.

A close relative of sitting in the shower (something I also love), sitting in the car while parked is neither about the journey nor the destination, but you being contained. The world may be your oyster, but sometimes you want to stay in your shell, OK??
P.S. if you want the deluxe version of this experience, have a little bevvie to sip while you sit with the car turned off for, say, a minimum of fifteen minutes after getting home. Sacred.

Ignorant to the distracting whereabouts of those within the immediate vicinity of my car, spending time in my driver's seat after completing a task (whether it be a day at work or even a short errand) has been revelational to my inner peace
Ironically, stepping out in public spaces often unsettles me. But place me in my car in the busiest parking lot full of judgemental people and I'll still find peace of mind, even though I'm entirely visible to the public. Why???
Maybe something about being in my car makes me feel normal. That could be it... what a nice feeling that is!!! This is ruined when I make eye contact with someone outside. They're just a friendly person, going to the park, or heading into their apartment, right? Right!!! Until they come back, and they see you still in your car. How humiliating. I like to think that this is a rare occurence. I try not to intentionally make eye contact too often though so I could be totally wrong
I like to sit in my car while it's off, eat a snack, enjoy a scroll, or call a friend. When I either get too hot or too cold I know it's time to move on with my day. This is why fall and spring are the best seasons. Temperatures are more accomodating for my decompress-in-car time
I'm writing this in the parking lot of one of my favorite local thrift stores. So far, I'm unhumiliated and feeling optimistic about my day!! I hope you are experiencing similar feelings today!!!

just let it die. try to be outside when this happens. Everything else can wait. savor the moments you're forced to live separated from your evil pocket brick while you can
