In the past I had to make a few long trips during the night. I liked that. Empty road, empty streets. The daily commute is the opposite of that, though.

nah, i hate driving and doing it in the city is stressful af

You live there? It's so beautiful. I used to love doing for long walks before I had a job.

Nah but this is the average rural road in the south

Depends on what you're driving, when you're driving, and why you're driving. Commuting in traffic is the special hell reserved for people who touch children. And the city gives away driver's licenses way too easily. They need to make that test WAY harder.

Lately yeah.

As soon as I'm home I get more irritable but when I'm on the road, I'm typically chill.

Driving is stressful and every minute I spend doing it increases my chances of a sudden, gruesome death. I drive when I have to and never for pleasure.
