Hey you. Long time no talk. Looks like you are on a break now. Hope all is well in your rural (and therefore I'm assuming peaceful) part of the world. I agree with what you've written here. This year has been one big show, and in particular for Americans with an election looming, most of us are increasingly tried of watching it.
Still here but yes, taking a bit of a break. Tuned out most of the online drama and media consumption since it seems 80% is somehow political now. Even on chain here there's a lot of local platform politics and Hive content so it's tough to simply enjoy some downtime while here, but I'm still checking in and attempting to curate when I'm not busy.
It's peaceful and I've also been working way out here to help make the most out of the day. I think I want to save up, by a van, and live in it. Thinking I'm done with trying to live the classic lifestyle, needing a drastic change, a way to make the next day unpredictable. I'm bored.
It's good to see you again. It has been awhile indeed.
I didn't mean to be gone so long, and was curious to see how things were going in this place. I don't know that I've observed anything of note, but people I recognize are still here, so that must be a good sign.
There are a few people I know that have taken off in RVs for the longterm. It is actually "in style" among the homeschooling families. You don't strike me as someone that needs to grow a tap root, so I imagine that will be an excellent solution. Hit the beach when you want some sun, soak up some crispy leaves in the mountains come fall - sounds lovely.
Good to see you too. I thought of you while I was away.
It's tough to bounce back after taking a break. Usually my extended breaks are extended further because of that.
There are still quite a few dedicated types around. I'm noticing many don't allow themselves to get to that dedicated point and leave after a short period though. I follow 600, my feed still drys up. It's too bad they don't just stick around to consume and earn that way. Too quiet around here for most people; folks sticking around to support the content would help in that department.
Not sure why I'm talking about that...
The RV would probably be the better way. No need to convert the van, or buy someones mistakes. The only problem I have with that is how the vehicle then looks like a camper. I'd rather be discreet, so I could park anywhere and look like part of the backdrop.
Yes, it gets easier and easier to just let it go another day, and the days pile up.
And yes, a van would be better. These stylish homeschool folks in their RVs have to lug around a 4+ person household. It does sound like a fun concept though. I think I would need to find a way to lug around a garden with me for it to work though. Dang tap roots.
