Grateful via /r/gratitude

i’ve come to realize I really haven’t had an immense amount of gratitude for much in my life besides family and very few other things until I acquired a neighbors old 2006 chevy impala after years of bad choices sending me down the void yk how it goes.

This car is such a beautiful thing bro. The turn of the key starting up that old v6 taking 15 mins of driving to get past 2nd gear (i know, the transmission is dying 🥲). But the beauty of this car is that even though it’s developing multiple disabilities it still manages to get me from point A to B, and the audio system I installed in her is like a BBL. The shiny but empty black spray painted wheels that give it a hint of goth that secretly every guy looks in a girl😆. It’s one of only thing I can think about that always puts a smile on my face knowing she’s mine. Part of me thinks my last relationship may be playing in a part in my wording as I didn’t expect to really have the same if not more love for what others look at as a moving piece of shit.

My gratitude for this car can’t be explained any other way than it honestly revived me i really had nothing to look forward to for a while like I have a job and i’m in school i just isolate and face the void as i said cause quite honestly i didn’t take action to put something into my life like this car to guide me out. I can say this car is my best friend without rethinking that statement because it’s the one thing that is always there no matter the conditions or time of day. If i need to destroy my ears with music, blind my eyes with wind going 60 down the freeway, i mean seriously bro this thing fills in every hole in the cheese i can possibly think of.

I love you my chevy impala I love you.
