Alone

[Vanimal]

Living alone in a van by your choice brings so much freedom it hurts. The only thing better than freedom is giving your spare time to someone you love.<br><br><br><br>

<b>Bob, someone Seraphin? put a site for Cindi to go to for directions on how to fix the blog problems. I will work on it again, I know Steve had problems but fixed his. I can't even respond to comments.&nbsp; Big Guy started working on the electric again. I told him we could camp across the street this weekend if he got some more done and I would fix him some good meals in the camper. He is&nbsp; enticed by food. I'm pretty sure he won't like camping though. </b><br><b></b>&nbsp;<br><b>Vanimal-didn't mean to hijak, this was just a very thoughful message you had and it touched me.</b><br><b></b>&nbsp;<br><b>Steve-you always bring me back to reality you turd.<IMG border=0 align=absMiddle src="https://vanlivingforum.com/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif"></b><br><b></b>&nbsp;<br><b>I have Somebody To Love cranked up now Blkjak, thinkin' of you-just teasing.</b><br><b><FONT color=#00ffff size=4>Dragonfly</FONT></b><br>

<P>Keep your eyes open, Rake.&nbsp; There are good vehicles around. We found a 13 year old unit with about 26k miles on it. We put about 8000 a year on it.&nbsp; Let us know what you do to it - everyone appreciates seeing other people's good ideas.</P>

You are only lonely if you cannot find creative ways to use your time.<div>From getting hobbies to talking to your inner self... there's many ways to keep busy.</div><div>And if you are a friendly, outgoing type. you can have friends for a day.&nbsp;</div>

 

[Simran]

To be alone and experience loneliness for what it is, ultimately, allows us to know ourselves on a most intimate level. We will never know who we truly are until we have been in and lived . . .loneliness. It also allows us to see it in others walking a lonely path.<br>
