Love Lyft’d Me | A Piece of Who's Peace?
Context Clues:
Love Lyft’d Me is a series dedicated to the souls that I encounter during my life of ride sharing. Thank you for the memories.
Your lessons are learned, my loves.
Love will always be my driver, my guide.
Lady or Sir will be along for the ride.
Not mine...that's for sure. I'm coming in clutch with the click bait titles...
Hennyways have I mentioned that I'm a Christian yet? And to further frame your mind, I am studying to be a minister of the good word; Gospel facts.
With that being said, my Lyft Shared ride home the other night was amazing!
Love picked me up and asked “Where are you coming from?"
"Well, Bible study...but then I hang out with my friends afterward." I replied.
As we were pulling onto 90/94, a new rider was added.
Love then warned me that we were picking up a new rider in poppin’ area... or not so poppin’ if you're a Lyft driver.
We pick up a bright bubbly young lady who is a bartender... and that's where the real fun began!
I believe that love mentioned something about clingy people, and lady said something like...
"That literally just happened to me! I went on two dates with this guy that I met on Tinder and then he wanted to give me a key to his place and marry me"...
Fam! Then Lady starts talking the most real shit in the world and it was amazing!
She legit was minding her business and venting about her sexual encounters, yet considering that I mentioned Bible study to Love, it created quite an intriguing atmosphere.
I could feel Love cringing from the from the backseat as Lady and I engaged in conversation. I could feel the assumptions roaming through Love’s mind as the f bomb is casually being dropped in conversation…
SOOOOOOOOOOOOooo?
Lady and I continued to talk the entire way to her destination. Lady was spitting mad facts the entire time.
For the record: I believe that there are lessons to be learned in every situation. With that being said, as a 23 year-old, fine piece of milk-chocolate that currently belongs to no one other than my Lord and savior, Jesus Christ... YES there were some things for to me to learn in Lady and I’s conversation (LOL).
The icing on the cake was being able to help debrief Love from the experience after Lady made it to her destination. Initially, Love was shook to the core. To help, Love and I had a looonnng talk. We went back and forth about what just happened AND how it wasn't bad. It was honestly just uncomfortable.
Reminder: Being uncomfortable is more than okay it is a necessary sensation of growth.
As we were talking (believe it or not), things became less uncomfortable. I basically let Love know that yes, I do love the Lord, but I'm a human sooooo I can talk about human things.
Long story short, Taboo conversation will never rob me of my peace in any way shape or form. I love conversation too much to let all that negativity into the space.
Peace and Love,
