I've lived in this house for three years at that point.

So I'm super familiar with these neighborhoods.

Also my dog at the time, I would take her on walks all the time, long walks, especially again, during that COVID lockdown, we were going on a lot of walks.

So I got to know this neighborhood really well.

So I'm just kind of swinging my car around, driving slowly, turning into whatever neighborhood feels good.

No aim in sight, just trying to get my feelings out, trying to cry to some sad music,

It's warming up.

It's not quite warm in Salt Lake yet, but I have my windows down a little for a breeze, just trying to calm myself so that I can try to get some sleep that night.

And when I am in insomnia mode, I'm wide awake.

So I'm pretty alert on these drives.

When I go on these drives and I listen to my sad music, I'm really just trying to clear my head enough so these racing thoughts aren't keeping me up anymore.

Trying to break myself out of the thought loop cycle.

But I'm very aware and I'm very awake.

I definitely wouldn't get behind the wheel if I was really, really tired.

I turn into this neighborhood.

I'm envisioning myself there right now.

I start to turn into this neighborhood and my headlights before they hit the road I'm about to turn to.

I see this group of what I thought at first glance was a bunch of teenagers.

And I was thinking to myself like, oh, it's a bunch of teens out late together kind of messing around.

I think there was probably about six of them.
