You are not crazy. You are not alone.

You want more from your life than an ordinary existence. You want to live, chase dreams, take risks. You want to laugh, spread love, spread joy. You have ideas. You have passions. But everyone says you're weird because you won't conform. You aren't weird, and you definitely aren't alone!

[@theglobalvagabond3074]

Most of my adventures have been solo because I can't find anyone willing to live a little. I stopped looking decades ago. You're correct; many people live their lives based on other people's expectations. I call it the friends and family plan. In my experience, those are the folks that will hold you back more than your worst enemy...if you let them. Even though they feel they are looking out for your best interests. You're better off reading books authored by explorers, adventurers, and trusting your instinct.

Paul Theroux - do you like his works?

[@theglobalvagabond3074]

@@rubyparchment5523 As crazy as it sounds, my favorite book that opened my eyes to the benefit of reading about adventure was the bio of Teddy Roosevelt. He was the president that started the process of creating the national park system, formally established by President Wilson. Also, his book introduced me to John Muir, who by any measure, is the father of the conservation movement in America His quotes alone make me want to get hit the road and go someplace every time I read them. My favorite is: "I only went out for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in." This is how I think today I'm not going out, I'm going in; and I love the feeling every time I do.

We all awaken at a different ages. I'm 64 years old and I was married for 37 years. My wife passed in April of this year. The day after she died I went and bought a Travel Trailer, the next day I went and bought a new SUV to tow it. I quit my job and started cleaning out the house. I had already decided during the past 12 years of being a caregiver to my wife what was going to happen when that day came. My new purpose is to live a minimalist lifestyle and travel with my best friend Patrick, my 100lb retriever. I remember the feelings of wonderment and curiosity about the world and life that I had as a child and I want to revive those feelings once more before my time to depart this world arrives. My family thinks I'm crazy and my friends all say they envy me and that they too would like to do the same thing. So who knows maybe we all will meet at some time and someplace. We are not alone.

Hello. I ended up in an asylum when I was 15 years old. I was diagnosed with chronic depression. I was locked up for 4 months. My problem was that my mind got stuck on sadness. My mother hit me a lot, and she drank a lot. I was stuck in a state of mind of pure sadness since I was 5 years old. Lost my childhood from that moment on. I had to find my way out. I couldn't get out until 1996. This is when I started to live life the way I wanted. Had my own place, and felt better. I stopped listening to people.

You're speaking the truth man. I always knew i don't want the "normal" life a.k.a get a "good" job, get married, buy a house in the suburbs, have kids and what not. Nothing wrong with that if it's really what you want, but something tells me a lot of people do all that not because they really want it but because they think it's the only way. Or at least the only "respectable" way or smth like that. It may work just fine for a lot of people but it doesn't work for everyone. Idk but slaving away at some job for like 45-50 years just to barely be able to pay a bunch of loans for things i don't really need just don't seem like a good life from my perspective. They tell you that you need to have this and this and this in order to be happy but it's really just "the market" talking. What's the point of having a fancy house and a bmw and 2 kids and yada yada if you have to work like crazy to afford all that? Absolutely nothing, not for you unless it's your idea of a good life of course. But it makes your company happy, and the car dealer, and the bank, and the minister of finance in whatever country you live in. But their happiness ain't necessarily your happiness. Sure, simple living, minimalism and all those things ain't for everyone either but it's nothing crazy about not wanting the mainstream. The crazy thing is this idea that everyone should fit in the same mold and if you don't it's smth wrong with you. As long as you don't hurt anyone, follow your own dreams and wishes, don't live just to look good in other peoples eyes. Sorry for the novel, peace.

@@christinamerritt9669 Hi Christina. I love my setup but I will mention one thing. In my truck camper it does appear I'm living in it to the police in San Diego. They are really going after people living in campers, parking at the beaches or other places. They put no parking signs from 2 to 4 am throughout the entire city so I have to move during that time and stealth for 2 hours. I have spent quite a few of the 7 months staying at my work when everybody left so I didn't have to move. I also recently found a spot that the cops aren't making people move. A nice camper van is much more stealthly for parking anywhere you can, side of road, several different 24 hour businesses etc. I don't know if other cities are like San Diego. Probably not. I have also stayed at campgrounds here that don't cost that much. I like Tim's ideas about making money and traveling. Living in my camper is definitely worth it to me. No question about it. The 6 parking tickets I've received in 7 months amount to less than $100 a month and like I mentioned, my total monthly bills now are very low. I would say, do it, if you figure out a good setup for you! 😀

I gave up trying to fit in when I was 19 and just carved my own path in life. In my first job, people always encouraged me to fit in, especially one boss who told me that drinking was a necessary social thing. I'm allergic to alcohol, its not my loss. I don't want to be surrounded by people who are as shallow as that. I've always felt alone and crazy, but I realized that fitting in is not the best thing in the world.

I am still alone, and rely on my relationship with my parent's for a great deal of meaning in my life. I am very lonely. I am trying to accept the reality of my situation without becoming nihilistic. I struggle with self-pity and self-hate. I "should be farther along" and "should have a girlfriend by now" or at least "own a house by now." I struggle with feeling very behind. I feel crazy, and I do feel alone. Maybe I'm not. Maybe there's somebody out there that can, and will, relate to me. Maybe someone out there that could love me one day.

I truly believe that connection and love heals anyone willing, especially those folks who have a mental health condition, suffering from addiction, or suffering from a traumatic event, etc and it's exactly what I need, but, how? I don't have transportation except for my feet and the unreliable transit system that comes this way each hour and a half. There's people out there that share this issue and there's folks who are like me but I'm terrified I will never find them and I will remain alone (remain in my current mental state) with no hope to connect although I hold a device in my hands now to connect me to anyone in the world. I enjoy my time alone, but damn, it would be nice to have connections to enjoy life and laugh and be... loved. There's two people who love me, I hear the words but don't feel any love at all anymore. I feel like I can trust you, Tim, enough to get this off my chest and I appreciate your message in your videos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Any advice from anyone would be great. Thank you and Be Well 💚 #bewell

What farm lands are you living in now? Sounds like you’re in the middle or Europe

[@Sliceofknifuu]

I resonate so much with what you’re going through and hope one day you’re able to find the connection you’re looking for with someone. It’s very hard to find genuine love and connection in a society that seems to care more about monetary gain than about people.

[@ThruTheMatrix]

Sorry to hear about this. I went through a very lonely time where I basically had to get out of town and immerse myself in a whole other city many miles away. I was lucky to have one family friend help out - I'm not sure I would have managed as well without that.

[@Changeworld408]

Sarah, i just read yr comment and it disturbs me as i am struggling as well and desperation is high. I hate to hear yr struggle as i want people to be fulfilled and my state of mind is not good. job and money is keeping us enslaved and i don't know a way out, but for sure, "it is not a sign of health to be well adjusted to a sick society" Big hug, Sarah i do care for you and pray for yr well being, i truly care

[@cathylindeboom4494]

Hi Sarah D.! I can relate to a great part of what you said. It gave my heart a flash of ache. One difference between us is I think I would love living in the country on a farm! Or even in a shack or tiny house. I love nature so much, and being in it, or as close to it as I can possibly be. Even on my half acre plot I feel like I have a little chunk of country, which I love. I love growing my little plants and flowers and vegetables, having the birds and the bees. It's also created a conflict about my cats though (5), so I'm trying to design a good sized contained area for them, to protect the birds and lizards. That's one thing which can be both a blessing and a burden, pets, as they are a responsibility which can tie one down, as well as a comfort, companionship, etc. I want a dog again, but. I also hesitate as I know what a responsibility it is. I too am car-less, which I learned to appreciate in some ways as I learned how to adapt. But I anticipate being able to get one soon. I think I understand your feeling of being alone as in every one I have ever known I've either lost contact with, is dead or?. Who knows. Within the past 4 years my mom, brother, sister, and best friend from Jr. High - high school have all died. My dad passed in 1983. I have had numerous friends over the years who I've fallen out of touch with. I was born in 1960, so I'm at "that age"... And I thought turning "40" was gonna be challenging. My daughter had graduated HS and moved out and I suddenly had a sort of mid life/"empty nest" crisis. Was not prepared for or expecting. So I then fell into a substance abuse-addiction problem for the past nearly 20 years. It's made for misadventures - enough to write a book. I worked for a good part of my adult life, was somewhat self employed over the last 10 or 15 years. Now consider myself "retired"! But then you assess your life and long for connection... I find the thought of the vagabond/hobo (I say that with greatest affection and respect) lifestyle fascinating and kind of romantic. But I also have a deep longing for that sense of home, the archetype of "home". I still have my daughter and my cousin, and I do have a boyfriend I live with. When you mentioned having two people in the world who love you, I felt that zinger in the heart. I'm not sure what the answer is, either. I guess the best I can say or do at this point, I've decided, is to try to intentionally be as kind to others, to everyone and everything, as I can. To try to give back here and there along the line, whenever and wherever I can. That's probably the best I'll be able to do with the time I've got left.... Take care and ❤️ to you. Cathy from Ca.

I left the hustle life 4 years ago and would never go back. I went from working 80 hours a week to now only casually working 4 months out of the year for a small festival. I went from managing 70 employees to now only 15. My old employers never understood me when I told them to give my employees a raise instead of me so I don't have to work so hard. I finally found one and now have a waiting list to be on my crew and never suffer employee shortages. I now live a simple debt-free life in paradise where I can do the things I never had time for. I am a happier, healthier, and kinder person now.

Hi Tim! I’ve been in a horrible job for three years now with no career path whatsoever. i’ve got bad anxiety and depression and I always thought there was no way I could quit the job that I was in regardless of what it was. Recently, it dawned on me that I have to take my mental health into account more so than a job that’s not even that great that everybody else expects me to be happy with. I really love how you said that you “can’t speak for yourself 30 years from now, but this is what we’re doing now.” That inspired me to quit my crappy job and live a little bit while I still have the chance. Thank you for your down to earth perspective!

I was always confused about this world. Then I realized that my existence as well as yours was us stepping in on situations and circumstances that already had a vibratory element to them before we came and those involved acted how they acted and treated people how they treated them because of things that happened long before we came into the picture. You are now left to put pieces of a puzzle together. People don’t present their true selves to you most of the time, they present what they want you to see and it’s only after time goes on you realize you’ve been deceived in many ways. That cooperation you applied to isn’t what it appears on the outside and that couple you hold in high regard have their issues they don’t talk about. People’s suicide attempts often stem from them being forced to give up the beautiful lies they’ve been told which is tough for the ego to let go. Let us live in clarity.

When I was young I asked “is this real?”… and my heart goes out to them bc this was scary for them to hear me ask. They think I’m crazy! simply put. They would be happy to see me on painkillers and antipsychotics if that meant I could be a good 9-5’er. …I’m trying to let go of the hurt and the resentment and I’m trying to drop all expectations of my loved ones seeing what I call the truth. I’m just doing the “soft quitting” of my job and I’m going to quietly exit out the back door. No more explaining myself. I’m letting that go. It’s heart breaking. But I’m prioritizing lessening the amount of conflict as much as I can. And that means letting go of understanding, of justice, of vindication.

I became severely depressed in my first job after graduating because it didn't make sense that we all had to work 35+ hours a week for the 40 years in jobs we hate just to have housing, food, warmth, clothes. There's no reason any of that should cost that much, it does so to make those at the top massive profits. I didn't understand how people could work on those jobs and not want to die. I figured that they just accept it as normal and necessary rather than questioning it, and that's where the problem is. Is most people questionned it it wouldn't continue.

I like how you referenced the Matrix, because in my opinion that movie is a direct parallel to the way life is. We are all programmed as we grow up, to be part of the system to fuel the wealthy. To serve them, and not ourselves. Those of us who choose another path are often looked down upon as someone less than, because we have woken up to the fact that there is more to life than work. That old saying, time is money, I see that differently. Time is life, and once it's gone you can't get it back. No amount of money is worth my life, sorry. I've always felt this way, and no one around me has ever understood it and just think something is wrong with me. My parents worked every day of thier lives, and both passed not long after retiring. Never getting to do the things they wanted to, never getting to enjoy life. To me, there is nothing more tragic than a life unlived. We only get one life, enjoy it while you can.
