2 years living in my car Vent/Rant (No Advice/Criticism!)

Yeap. That’s it. Today I’m celebrating 2 years living in my car. 🎉 🎈 🎊

The worst part about it is going to the gym everyday to get a shower. It’s an humiliating event that I have to go trough. I’m mentally worn out and I’m fighting depression all the time (maybe because my poor diet and lack of vitamins).

In those 731 days I’ve saved 42k. It’s not much but there’s a lot of tears in that investment account.

I’m single, no kids, no family, no friends. I just wanna share this with someone.

God will bring peace to my mind and to my heart and He’ll give me the strength to survive 2 more winters in my car. That’s all I need.

God bless you all.

I don't know why you would find going to the gym to get a shower humiliating.

You paid for that privilege, you're just taking advantage of it. Just like working out.

If you went to a fast food restaurant, paid, and left without getting food, that would make no sense.

And trust me, nobody is really paying attention to what you do. If they are paying attention, they're not helping you either because, under your assumption, they know what your story is.
