10 - It's mine. I own it.
9- F@@king the "Man" at his own game. No rent.
8- I'm the only person I know who is pulling off what I'm pulling off. Ummm...Outside of the uber awesome, forward thinking, looking-outside-of-the-box souls on CRVL, of course
So, yeah. This makes me unique. And tough. And different. And cool. And...richer. Because I'm not paying rent. *see #9
7- I feel more connected with nature. Even though I live in a very mild city, weather wise, I'm still waaay more aware of a cold night when I can see my breath or a balmy morning when the sunshine is hitting the roof of my van. It's not uncomfortable...it's nature. And I'm glad to be aware of it again after umpteen years of living in stale, sterile apartments. Bring it!
6- I love working on my van. It's not even nearly finished yet. But the process is making me as a person more creative. Which is bleeding into other parts of my life, making me more creative in other areas. I'm learning more about the physical world, I'm building something. It's fantastic.
5- I'm growing more aware of my surroundings. I live in a city environment so I can't stay in one place too long. I'm becoming somewhat Nomadic. Which requires more situational awareness than going back to the same apartment/condo/house year after year. This awakens an ancient part of the brain that was dormant. And it's feeding my soul. I didn't expect that.
4- This is a strange one. But...here goes: I often park on a street that has a late night bus that passes by each hour. I can hear the bus coming, it passes by, and the the wind generated by the bus gently rocks my van. I love it. I can explain why. Its so awesome/comforting. It's weird
3- I was unsure that I could do this. But now I know I can. It's a great thing to know that you have the ability to surprise yourself. It makes you wonder what else you can do(I stole this quote from "American Beauty," but it's true
2- I have a bigger understanding for the homeless/down on their luck population. I'm not nearly in the same boat, but I think I have a much greater appreciation for the effort it takes to exist outside society's norms. God bless.
1- I love my van----"Van-Nessa!"
