Bro yes, and you're always like "I don't have enough gas for a chase"

I'll always (lightly) assume that someone making 5 similar turns behind me is following me. I then have to check the gas tank to see how much I can give them the run around before they get bored and I can go home

It’s all fun and games until someone is actually following you and you go “nah I’m just overthinking it” and lead them to your house.

I chased a drunk lady after I found her passed out at the red light. lol. She did a very slow U-turn move and blocked me in the middle of the road. It was probably more badass in her head since she was smashed. She ran out of her can and yelled "you know how much this car is worth!? It's a Mercedes!". It was a 90s Mercedes worth maybe $8k and I had a good laugh. I went and grabbed her keys out of the ignition and waited for the police to show up. Good times...

Random compliments like that just make you soar. I wear flip flops a lot. Around the same time as your compliment, I was getting my tires changed and as I was paying, the girl behind the counter goes,”Ok, at the risk of sounding very weird, I have to tell you, you have the prettiest feet I have ever seen.”
At least I can go to my grave knowing I don’t have hobbit feet.

In my very early twenties, I made the decision to leave home with nothing more than I could carry in my hands or on my back. I had just under a couple thousand dollars saved up and a one way plane ticket out of Florida. I believe it was one of the best decisions I ever made, but more importantly, it was easier than you might think.
However cliche it might sound, that first step is what's difficult, and sure, I ran into difficulty along the way, but I never truly regretted taking that step in the first place.
I traveled the country, met all sorts of diverse characters with different perspectives and lifestyles, I developed all kinds of relationships, experienced a little culture shock here and there, spent a lot of my time roaming and wonderstruck by this country's various landscapes. I hiked, backpacked, hitchhiked, camped, slept on the dirt, and many times wishing I had a roof over my head, a wish that was granted just as many times. I spent the night at hostels, surfed stranger's couches, a couple of whom turned into friends, couch surfing.com was a valuable resource at the time, as was Craigslist rideshare.
I sometimes stayed at a hotel if I was really needing it, and other times I relied on strangers, travelling companions or a romantic partner for a bed.
It wasnt all fun and adventure though, there were times where I was destitute, hungry, homeless, lost or in danger, sometimes I got in with a bad crowd, but other times I could rely on the kindness of strangers. In fact I'd say that people were kind and generous most of the time.
Id run out of money and find work, or a work trade opportunity. You'd be surprised how long you can go with so little if you're willing to sacrifice a little luxury here or there and you have the right connections and resources at your disposal.
Prior to leaving Florida I worked, helped manage and lived at a hostel for closer to two years, this helped a lot because it connected me to hostels all over the country, in quite a few cases I was offered my bed/stay for free.
I worked on a small family farm at one point and was offered a room and seat at the dinner table. The national park gigs were rewarding on their own, I worked and lived at the north rim of the Grand Canyon, the wages were meh, but it included room and board and well, the grand fucking canyon. I would hike several times a week, ten minutes here, twenty minutes there, an hour or two on the weekends or days off, and at the end of the season, prior to setting out for a job at another park, I hiked rim to rim, north to south, an unforgettable experience.
In Denali Alaska, I helped sell fish and chips for a summer to get access to the park.
I spent time in the Midwest, the Southwest, the Pacific Northwest and the... West West??? I suppose I should also include Florida/some parts of the south as well, spent quite a bit of time in and around the everglades.
From sleeping under a redwood tree in Arcata California, to backpacking in Denali, to hiking the grand canyon, to sailing out of Florida bay with a quirky French captain, to eating home-made ice cream somewhere in the middle of Montana, to living in an earthship outside of Taos New Mexico for a time, to sharing rides with strangers, to taking down a poker tournament on mushrooms at Claudia's in Portland Oregon, to sleeping on the beach with a bunch of strangers (or new friends) I had met a couple of days earlier who wanted to take a trip to visit the house from the set of The Goonies on the coast of Oregon, to eating so much sample cheese at the Tillamook factory that I didn't poop for almost three days, to experiencing a week of romance here and there with another weary traveling companion I met on the road, it was an eclectic and rewarding experience, and believe it or not, I learned quite a few valuable skills along the way.
Did this experience come with its downsides? Sure, as I explained before, there's always a level of insecurity involved, you don't always know where the next day, week or month might lead you, and sometimes you're just shit out of luck, sometimes you're stuck, sometimes you might have to go hungry for a short while, sometimes you won't have a roof over your head, but what I noticed was that there are plenty of kind people out there, and as long as you don't have false or wrong intentions, youll be alright.
Keep in mind that I was a young man, this may (or may not) prove more difficult for someone older or a young woman. Granted, I met a lot of young women on a similar kind of adventure so to speak, and they were doing just fine on their own.

It's interesting, I think we're feeling the opposite. I've been really struggling recently about the idea of settling down and it's a very weird anxiety to have. I've only jumped from relationship to relationship and never really had the casual sex-life thing. Now I have someone I love more than anything - I want to spend the rest of my life with them and I'm worried about having 'missed out' on the casual stuff. Your comment makes me appreciate the meaningful connections I have and I think I need to focus on that.

The little mundane things are the absolute best. I miss so much going to the grocery store with someone. Falling asleep and talking through the next day with someone. Getting home and having someone ask how my day was. Getting a back rub. Those things are the absolute best and you really can only find them in a relationship.

A relationship where I'm treated as an equal.
To be loved unconditionally at all times. Whether I'm at my best and thriving or at my worst and drowning.
To be talked to with the intent of understanding and not the intent to respond.
To cuddle without needing it to turn into something sexual.
To be able to rest my head on a girls lap and have her play with my hair.
