now, as usual, it all started from a divorce, and a failed life, in other words, you've got to be a loser, to lose yourself, to find yourself, for the first time, in your remaining life
Bob Wells was convincing, because he tried it twice (actually more than twice), like running the RCT trials twice, before FDA approves a new drug
but, i'm not sure why he has to refurnish this one, the old van must be beyond repair, in my point of view, that's the real pain in the ass for van lifers, that is, the van has to be maintained, like a house, otherwise you won't be able to move freely
i think the philosophy for van lifers should be return to life's basic needs, in a minimalistic way, but meantime, if you are an avid reader, or creative photographer, that would make your van life beyond boredom, like i said before, one should always have two trips, at the same time, in one journey, so that when shit happens, you can feel a little distance away from it, like it is someone else' business, we shall call this healthy dissociation, it has nothing to do with trauma, vertical split, or altered states of consciousness, memory, and identity
i sincerely cherish the off-grid freedom of van life, but, the over-joyful Bob leaves the money part out, or under-emphasizes it, which means, even if one keeps one's basic needs down, as possible, one still has to pay for the food and gas and van repair, to enjoy those starry wilderness nights
now, to own something, means to keep something in order, to prevent something from decay, that is biggest pain in the ass
is it possible not own anything, probably too extreme and thus unlikely, so our best shot is, to own as little as possible, and not feel obliged to keep it in order, and learn to live with it till decay
this something, can be your self, your body, your apartment, your house, or your van, of course
