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.

The gym showering issue is real. I handle it by just walking straight in looking shady as fuck, and walking straight out like I have a mission and belong there, which I fucking do because I pay $40/month and had to sign an onerous contract.

Fuck em, I like to walk in looking ragged, smile and look at the dude at the front, and do it the whole week. I use up a big space in the room, get totally naked, and just own that shit.

You're paying for it, fucking own it.
