Sam Recommends: “All This Time” by Heartless Bastards

It was the spring of 2010, and I was in the final stretch of my first bad acid trip.

My boyfriend at the time wasn’t with me. For some reason, he had elected to stay home while me and our other friends took a couple tabs.

His best friend was there though. We had a somewhat strained relationship because we had come pretty close to dating ourselves 6 months prior. Things were starting to get less awkward though, and I thought we were on our way to being friends again.

Long story short: the trip started out fine, but turned bad (for me, at least) when a toxic person entered our little bubble of good feels. I made an escape to an empty room to get away from the evil spirit, but then the trip got even worse. I CAN’T BE ALONE WITH MY THOUGHTS.

I sought him out and asked if he would hang out with me. I ruined his good trip, but he saved mine from being a total disaster just by sitting, drawing, listening to music, and talking with me.

After what felt like 67 years, morning rolled around and we were beginning to feel like real humans again. We went outside and sat in his car to get a change of scenery.

The sun was just coming up, and everything was golden.

He put on this song by Heartless Bastards, and by the end of those three minutes, I think I knew, deep down, that we belonged together.

It took another month, but the ex and I broke up, and fast forward seven years...we're married now y'all.
