Lfyt Driving Therapy

I have been driving for

Lyft

for awhile now

and have notice a few things a long the way.

First;

Alcohol

is my friend as a driver.

I am not saying I drink

and drive or anything foolish like that.

I am saying people are a lot smarter nowadays about going out for a drink.

Instead of driving themselves

and risking being stopped for a

DUI,

a lot of people are using the

Lyft App

and getting a ride to

and from the establishments they want to drink at.

Very commendable.

The second thing I have noticed is;

so far the fifty

or so rides that I have personally driven,

most of the people are very friendly

and talkative.

Which goes hand in hand with my personality.

The third thing I have noticed about some of my customers is;

some will be staring at their phones

or have earbuds in

and do not want to talk at all.

The fourth thing I have seen is;

I have to know when to talk

and when to listen.

I have had one lady,

who was obviously intoxicated,

start a conversation telling me how happy she was

and how motivated she was in life.

Towards the end of a ten minute ride she was telling me how she was getting a divorce

and how she hated men.

One girl who I thought was very intelligent asked me about relationship advice with her life partner.

On one ride,

a guy asked me what was the worst day I ever had in life.

He was obviously in pain about something.

I told him I didn't have a worst day,

but I had a terrible two weeks in my life once.

I told him about the time in my life where the company I worked for went on strike,

I was evicted from the townhouse I lived in,

I cracked up my

Cadillac Eldorado,

my girlfriend left me,

and the

Rock N' Roll Band

I was playing in broke up.

That all happened to me in a two week period

and is the honest to

God

truth.

He actually smiled

and said his life wasn't as bad as all that.

I also told him,

if he works through it like I did,

things will get better for him.

I hope I helped him at least get through the day

and that he found hope for his future.

Because that was a really bad two weeks I had

and life did get better for me!

Now,

I have to have a

Superhero T-Shirt

made up saying;

"I am not a therapist, I am a Lyft Driver!"

 

This is,

Always Helping Wherever I Can,

And,

“Strong people don't put others down... They lift them up.”
- Michael P. Watson -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
