SICK OF THE MATRIX !!!!

[owl]

OP, you are unhappy. You are taking steps to remedy that. You are getting your spending under control. You are planning for your van life to be comfortable. A hightop will add greatly to that. Get your mind under control and see the future and peace you want. Put everything else on hold and work toward that goal. You will find the strength you need and the freedom you want if you concentrate. You have the ability to do this and one day you will share your experience with others. I, and many others here, stand ready to help and lend support. Whatever you think, you are not alone in this struggle.

Amen! the rat race sucks, bleed ya dry of every penny ya own and not think twice doing it to ya.
Wishing you the absolute best!!

Hampsters on a wheel or a carrot on a stick for a horse or mule on a treadmill till you're all used up & then you don't even get the carrot.

EXACTLY!!!!!    The job was literally killing me.    I won’t have ANY energy left if I stick it out another year....I won’t care anymore and my life will be wasted away and claimed by the matrix
Give me liberty or give me death.

Be careful looking for a job close to a caravan, they move about every two weeks as they are mostly on public land. Fingers crossed for you!

I probably won't do anything until October. I'll be living at someones house for a while...until i'm ready to leave...i don't want to be here this winter (Midwest). I will at least try to get a Maxx fan .And try to get as much stuff as i can . And try to line something up for somewhere in the Southwest (New Mexico/Arizona), as far as house sitting goes....

At least i will be in caravan country...and it will be easier to join one eventually.......i'll figure it out...
At least i know i'm making the right decision. I feel good about knowing what i must do now. I was in limbo for a long time....

Goals, seems like you're on track. Good for you! Az. is a good place for the winter, very mild and lots of folks from here around. In November near Parker Az. Jamie holds a van build where volunteers help folks like you with their van projects. Lots of folks show up and help each other. Things like a maxx fan, beds, storage, solar get done on a volunteer basis. You pay for the parts and folks install it for you at no cost. Knowledge is freely shared also. Might be something that would work for you.

What a god send to have this support system !!!! I will do everything i can to get supplies, etc....and to also help others as much as possible when i can....i'm going to go out in these last years of my life fighting for justice and freedom !!!

I thought i was gonna make it comfortable for myself, because i'm so use to the comfortable matrix (that keeps me enslaved). I didn't want to suffer much roughing it....lol....but there are more important things to live for. And my pioneer spirit want's OUT !!!!


I will make a video this week end for all you video/photo porn freaks, of the stuff i have to get rid of.....it will be VERY XXXX...lol

 

[RoamerRV428]

Maybe you have permissions on your FB account set so people who are not FB friends can's see it. I get this error message:

[Gypsy108]

Oh...yeah..gotta change it to public then.....hold on....DONE

 

[travelaround]

Okay - works good now. Looks like a nice apartment and a big kitchen!! Or is it a house?

 

[Gypsy108]

@travelaround....apartment...$1,300/mo !!!! Been here 5 years....all i do is work to pay my bills...i'm not happy so i buy more frills....lol

I'll post another video later of my van......inside/out...

Nice handwriting!... I have one of those salt lamps too... it is going into the giveaway pile... I have a bookcase about the same size and color and just cleaned it off this morning, moving things around in anticipation of the move.

You have a lot of furniture but the clutter is easy to remove.. just put things into containers. Yes, we can become minimalists and I think we'll be a lot happier when we do this.

I like your art. What will you be doing with your paintings? Right now I'm still planning to take mine with me though I can see this could be a space issue.

What a nice home you have, and your artwork is so beautiful!! You have a wonderful talent!!
I was reading your notebook as you went thru it and noticed how you are preparing for your vehicle, and listing all the items you will need.  
I have not read thru all your posting here so forgive me if I am repeating information.  I only want to let you know, for me when I first started out, I purchased many items that after the first 6 months or so were just not what I needed and they had to be discarded and something more appropriate had to be purchased.  I really didn't know for sure what I needed until on the road.  If you could do a few trips before giving up your home it will help you know what you really need to start out with, and you can always add things later.  Getting ready can be nerve racking, just take a couple deep breaths.   :thumbsup:

@travelaround...i used to have 5 or 6 salt lamps (gave them away).  I'm moving into the house i was in before i got the apartment (long story/toxic relationship).  The home owner is father of my children (2 grown sons).  All my stuff will be at the house, and i will only take what i need/want into the van....
I won't take all of my artwork....maybe that big one over the short bookcase (wild paisley abstract), thinking it will make a nice headboard....

Hopefully i will be able to stock up on art supplies (flat canvas & paint & brushes).
I will also make my own poetry books.  Need printer/or they will be handwritten !!!!!
I hate my handwriting....i need to learn calligraphy if i'm going to hand write my books !!!
So much work.....
Thank you travelaround  :heart:
