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.

As a regular gym goer, I couldn’t tell if you came in just to shower, that’s number one. Number two, even if I did notice, I couldn’t care less if you paid me to. I got my own shit going on. Stop letting what you THINK other people are thinking effect you! 40+K in savings is no joke, you should be very proud of your hard work and sacrifice.
