Someone I was driving home today said that driving for Uber is like a drug. It affects your life and relationships. I feel like it affects my life because I always feel the itch to drive and make money no matter what. I feel like I'm addicted to money because I want to escape the struggle game. It affects my life because I sometimes stay up til messed up hours or even pull allnighters just to make enough for bills. I don't sleep due to the stress of money sometimes. I barely get to see my friends because I have to drive a lot of hours to make enough money to live. I also drive weekends because that's the best time to make fares. Because I drive late, I don't get to chill with my roommate friends at night/for dinner because I'm hustling. I'm always tired. I always feel the need to hustle and all I want to do is breathe!

Driving in the Winter
Welp, it is that time again where IL likes to be cold and snowy. Thankfully I don't need to drive full-time anymore, but I still need to drive for some of my moneys. I told myself I wouldn't drive in the snow unless I really had to, but if it's too stormy, I don't drive. If it's mildly snowing, I would risk it unless the roads were bad (not plowed/salted).
I did my first driving venture in the winter season/ever and it actually wasn't too bad. I received plenty of rides, but most of them were short. I wanted to make sure to avoid the inner city as much as possible because I don't want to drive in traffic and snow simultaneously, but if I had to I had to (which I did not thankfully). The expressway I'd rather avoid in the snow due to too many people, which I was mostly able to avoid. I drove for Uber and Lyft and both gave me short rides for the majority of them; I'm sure it's because people didn't want to walk anywhere anymore. I made as much money thankfully as I would have on a normal day thanks to surge prices, but at least I got to hear my fair share of info about being a professional private chef in a niche market in the one not 10 minute or less ride I had. Sorry for talking your face off, lady! Off to more driving ventures for me. I will continue to be safe and transport all you lovely people safely to your destinations!
