Rideshare Love: A SAMPLE
by Jessica N. Watkins
Ocean:
Growing up, I had never expected to end up here: married, educated, and with a blossoming career. Hell, honestly, I never expected to make it to the ripe, old age of twenty-seven, since the life expectancy of people with my past is very grim. Yet, with the angelic assistance of my husband, Irv, I made it to the stable life that I have now.
However, I can’t honestly say that I am truly happy. I am still very much the broken woman that I used to be. Its a daily fight to keep that broken woman motivated and focused on our goals. That became particularly hard the busier that my husband became. The more that I found myself alone in our home, the threat of my demons resurfacing became more imminent. To keep myself and my thoughts focused, I decided to become a rideshare driver. It was a necessity in order to control my demons.
Yet, one day, I picked up a passenger, Lyfe. When he climbed into my backseat, I had no idea of the impact he would have on my life. Our encounter turned my world on its ass and threatened the stability I had fought so hard to maintain.
