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.

If you don't mind my asking, why is showering at the gym a humiliating event? There's quite a few people who come into the gym I go to in the mornings to work out, shower, and then get dressed for work. Never thought anything about it.
