Sensible? Viable?
9 January 2021Hi everyone, Today it occurred to me that my solution may not seem as sensible and viable to others as it does to me :-) I could go into my lack of better options - such as sitting around silently in someone else's house, waiting to die ... but more importantly for me this is a good and realistic solution, which offers me more than just solving my immediate problems.
- I have camped and caravanned before, I love it. I'm aware there will be aspects that I won't like, but that is true of most ways of living. And there are simply many more pros than cons.
- It is also realistic that this will probably help my depression; the original causes are in the past, the current causes revolve mostly around worries of homelessness, and not having anything useful or pleasant to do. With a 'van as my own home and not paying Auckland rents, I will go far :-)
- I will be able to be more sociable - without spare $$$ this gets hard, people like to mix over a coffee or drinks or a meal; I will be able to afford that when caravanning - and I'll be meeting new people more often.
- Perhaps most importantly, just having embarked on this has given me some hope and made me feel better than I have in years; I'd truly hate this to fail!
STATUS: Nothing happening. Although people who know me have been very generous, this dream will need lots of people who don't know me to also help, so please think about where it might be possible to post this page in (any) social media, email it to contacts, colleagues etc.
Thanks for everything :-)
