Step into My Artistic Universe

My artistic endeavors often need to be put on hold to make a living and pay the bills. As an unknown artist, I haven't made any money from my artwork since I started not too long ago—I'm just like Vincent van Gogh, waiting for my big break. So, I've had to work other jobs to sustain my lifestyle.

Unfortunately, this past January, I found myself in a difficult situation. After working as an excellent 5-star rideshare driver for over seven years with well over 25k rides, I lost my Uber account just before the peak of COVID-19 and my Lyft account this January.️

When I was an Uber and Lyft driver, my service area included Hollywood, North Hollywood, Hollywood Bowl, Burbank & Airport️, Universal Studio, Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica️, Venice Beac️h, the UCLA campus, Downtown LA, Korean Town, Little Tokyo, and the USC campus. However, LAX️, Disneyland,Manhattan beach Malibu bea️ch, Pepperdine University, Long Beach, Calabasas, Santa Clarita, Pomona, the UC Irvine campus, and the CSUN campus were each less than a dozen times. I loved picking up customers, especially college students who enjoyed talking. For me, it was a form of social activity️. As long as the customer was willing, I engaged in conversations, sharing truths based on my experiences or research.

However, after seven long years and over 25,000 trips, I was fired for allegedly saying something inappropriate. It's quite a record, don't you think? This goes to show that I don't have any discriminatory tendencies, given how much I talked to customers about various subjects while they were in my car. Being a rideshare driver was my window to get to know people from all walks of life—people of all races, genders (including LGBTQ+), ages (young and old), abilities, and tourists/visitors from all over the world. Unfortunately, that special window is now closed. Good times never last forever, but life must go on.
