This reflection really hit me. The way you describe those long car rides—where time had weight and edges—brought back such vivid memories of my own childhood trips. I can almost smell the fast food in the car and feel the quiet stretch of hours that weren’t filled with endless notifications.
There’s something powerful about that kind of unreachability, how it let moments breathe and made even boredom feel meaningful. I can’t help but wonder too—what does it mean for kids (and for us as adults) to never be sealed off from the constant stream anymore? This really makes me want to find ways to create that kind of space again.
I'm glad this resonated with you. I hope as a culture we realize that over connection is bad for us, and maybe someday soon we will have those edges and boundaries again.
I know I will do my best to give these experiences to future generations.
