"Joey and Mandy with the sound of Peepers 2017-05-04"

• Perhaps this is too short to take serious as a video log of any sort, but this was a moment I (Joey) recorded over a year ago, and a short video clip I really enjoyed.

It was an evening driving of adventures with a friend (Mandy) such trips back then were done at a time when I had become nostalgic with reminders of the passing of time, such as helping to move items out of a house in the neighborhood that I had seen a lot of over the years, spread out over very many years, even at a very young age, but rarely had reason to spend much time there at any one time.
Now I was often going on trips for Take Out food when a friend of mine who really enjoyed take out food was now no longer alive, he really looked forward to going for drives for take out food, making much of this a bit depressing, life goes on, when but you know someone you had been friends with for a very long time would have liked to be there, and would have enjoyed such trips, really makes such moments rather melancholy.
...and on top of all that, general life experiences also reminding me of the even more recent loss of an other friend whom I valued as much as life it's self, and in the past I primarily enjoyed life experiences because I could share those life experiences with her, but she recently became something I could no longer be friends with, as she had descended into (what best would be described as) the dark-side, so I had also lost this person. The recent loss of the person that had made life enjoyable to me, someone I had valued above all else, was a very strange experience when they seemed to dissolve into irredeemable emotionally hostile and self defeating madness.
So it seemed like a pretty bad time, with moments of nostalgia being stressed with loss.
However trekking the environment in search of fun and amusement with Mandy and other friends made this depressing time one that was actually full of contrastingly vibrant positive life experiences.
In fact even with all the loss, I had a lot of positive support from friends, perhaps none of them as close as those whom I lost, but it was a time where many friends were incredibly positive as supportive to me, and I no longer spent as much time waiting and hoping for someone to come on adventures for me while she seemed unable and uninterested in going places and doing things at the last moment.
So this was one of the more active and vibrant years of my life, and this was just a tiny little moment I nostalgically look back at in a unique year.
