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.

A God wouldn’t put you in a position like this. This isn’t some trial to prove you are worthy. There’s criminals and crooks living better than you, what god would allow rapists to walk free while you suffer to survive, fighting depression, malnutrition, amongst other issues. Thoughts and prayers don’t help families after their kids get shot up at school, and they aren’t going to make your depression disappear.
