I don't know, sometimes I think I just need to get rid of all material possessions in my life and just start all over again, as I was when leaving my home town as a high school graduate, all I had was basically a back pack full of stuff, that's it, and boy how simple life was back then.
Maybe I need that simplicity back in my life.
I've seen how junk just tends to tie people down, especially as we, or they age.
I've seen older people have places full of junk, and when die, no one even wants it, and or if move, can't even sell it, and it all just goes to the dump anyways.
So maybe, just maybe, I need to purge my life of all junk and just be free again....and then up and move somewhere out in some rural area and get a job driving a truck, and just live out of a hotel until get some income flowing in again.

If gonna move, just move...there is no perfect time or scenario, and if spend too much time worrying about this and that, it'll never happen.
just move, get hotel room, get job, and everything else will fall into place.

Energy is what will make you win.
You have to be in an environment or situation where you're happy and enthused.
Happiness and enthusiasm is like nitro to the soul, and will make even mundane stuff seem a breeze.
But if in dark environment, that is dark to you, then regardless of your health, you'll feel sluggish all the time cause you're not happy.

Why would I ever want to move now?
Moving when poor, really does suck, especially as you age, are older, and more set in your ways.
I have my personal living space set up just right, that took years, but when move, all that's disrupted.
Computer, cable (just for internet), wall projectors, table, cords, but when move have to undo it all, then reassemble it quickly to get a sense of normality back in your life.
Then what if it's noisy?
Or there are bugs?
Life seems ugly to me right now, at least my own path going forward does.
I see it not getting better, but worse...maybe I'm wrong.

I recently was forced to move, and I'm 54.
I moved to a smaller place, and pay 400 less a month in rent, so that part is good.
It wasn't as stressful as I imagined in that I left most of the stuff behind do to damage by fire, ash, and water.
It was stressful, yet it took a lot of stress out of the movie, if that makes sense.
New unit is just as quiet as last place...I'm fortunate in that regard.
And of course, hard to replace 12 years of stuff you had in place that made life bearable in weeks or even months.
That took some adjusting and spending.
Lesson learned?
Don't ever get comfortable anywhere if you don't out and right own the place you're living in, cause if you don't own it, it's not now nor never will be your home.

I may have to move soon, and it's a terrifying feeling...why?
1. Moving alone is always scary, especially when older, cause you have no one to confide in should things go wrong, or when nervous.
2. With Biden/Harris flooding nation with millions of illegal immigrants, and many of them criminals, the places that used to be safe aren't so safe anymore.
The days of just buying some land, living in a RV, and being left alone, are gone. Now, if older, and home alone, no telling who could try to break in.
3. As a older male of color, no one wants you moving in next to them, cause everyone associates you with 'crime' and disorder. When I say 'no one', I guess I really mean 'white people', who tend to live in all the areas I want to live in do to the much more quieter culture and vibe.
So as a older B male, you're forced to live around other people of color to feel comfortable, but they may not share your culture.
I'm a person of color, sure, but the culture of being 'black', I'm not.
4. I've gotten comfortable in my new place...and the thought of ripping myself away from this comfort is terrifying, but if I don't, I'll be caught in the same cycle of work and rent and bills, over and over again.
Or I can buy used RV, life off the grid for a year, work, save money, and buy a better future for myself.
Either way, having to do all this alone is scary.

Moving can be a dm pain, especially when absent minded like me.
Especially when it comes to like losing, and then having to connect internet service...what a pain!
And or like you have a printer, and most new printers work off of wifi from your router, and so until get new or transfer old router, and get internet, your printer is basically useless...can always use manually, but can't like print stuff on your computer unless have wifi/internet connection....some do still take usb cords.
Either way, If I have to move, I really don't look forward to it at all...mainly the transfering your electronic stuff, cause you get so comfortable, the speakers, the large 24 in monitor, it's like you find that grace spot, then it all gets interupted.
Happened to me once already this year do to a apt fire, and now could happen again, cause not sure if I want to renew lease or not.
I mean rent is such a waste of money, what's the point???
Especially when older, all you're doing is forcing yourself to have to work full time, and giving a big chunk of your labor to rent...1200-1600 a month...down the drain...
like 15-24,000 dollars a year...think if had saved that cash instead, while working, then could just buy your own land and be done with being owned.
Easier said than done though.

I feel so trapped right now.
I absolutely despise the people I live around, their habits, their ways, their mannerisms, yet what am I going to do?
You have to be rich to up and move to a place where no ghetto types are, regardless of your color.
If poor and white, you have to live around ghetto types, and if poor and black you have to live around ghetto types....and it sucks.
They worship trash and litter, they lack any type of social or moral concscious, will steal your wallet/purse in a heartbeat.
They swarm around hotels and motels and scare decent families on vacation away.
The hotels where I stay, off the interstate, or just ghettos, plain and simple, and ran like ghettos.
Everywhere ____ people go or stay, they turn it into a ghetto, smoke blunts, litter, drop trash everywhere and scare the good people off and away.
Yet these ghetto types live where it's affordable, so many working class forced to live around these urban rodents.

I've been around these ghetto types long enough to know, see, observe, they're never going to change...most don't even know how to.
I know better, simply cause I wasn't raised around this crap.

So, it's either move to a more expensive place, work, just to always be broke, or pay less and tolerate living around ghetto types...what a freagen choice.
Or just up and move somewhere where ghetto types don't live.
But now with Biden/Harris shoving millions of immigrants into the interior of this nation, even small rural, once clean communities are changing, and for the worse.
