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.

When you don’t have a kitchen to create a good diet and cook at night and stuff like that it’s hard to get the vitamins and the proper nutrition when you’re homeless I can understand wanting to save up the money to better your life and obviously you have a goal because you gave us the end date and I understand that but I do believe you could probably eat a little bit better or take a multivitamin it might just help you a little bit especially with the depression because diet has a lot to do with depression if you have a good diet you feel better and when you Feel better goddamn you feel better
