[0:01]good morning everyone it's Wednesday
[0:03]here hope you're having a good morning
[0:06]I've tried recording this a couple of
[0:08]times now and I'm just seem to be
[0:10]struggling with it I do know what I want
[0:12]to talk
[0:14]about just the words aren't coming out
[0:16]right so I decided to just sit here and
[0:18]just write it down so I'm just going to
[0:19]share this with you if I'm looking down
[0:22]a lot that's
[0:23]why I I I'm trying to be super open
[0:27]about just the feelings that come up for
[0:30]me and just just you know every aspect
[0:34]of what it's like to transition and so I
[0:36]just want to share with you what that
[0:39]looks like for me
[0:41]today so today I want to talk about how
[0:44]I'm feeling I'm not sleeping well again
[0:47]I'm just getting very little sleep I'm
[0:50]even having some strange dreams related
[0:52]to life on the
[0:53]road this morning I decided to just
[0:56]check in with myself and I think what's
[0:58]happening is I'm anxious to get on the
[1:00]road where I can live a more exciting
[1:02]life and share a different kind of
[1:03]experience with
[1:05]you and I think I'm anxious about it
[1:08]because I don't feel like I'm making
[1:10]enough progress fast enough and I think
[1:12]I feel that way because the kind of
[1:14]progress I need to make requires a new
[1:16]set of skills I have never had to use
[1:18]before or even contemplated
[1:21]using and so when you put all of that
[1:23]together it can start to feel
[1:25]overwhelming and for me when that
[1:27]happens it can sometimes lead to
[1:28]paralysis where I get even less
[1:32]done despite that I keep pushing myself
[1:35]because it feels like it's on hold until
[1:38]the day I finally drive away from the
[1:40]house for the last time part of me feels
[1:43]I shouldn't think about it that way
[1:44]because it's not the healthiest way to
[1:46]live but nothing about my life here has
[1:48]been so I need to move on to embrace
[1:52]this new lifestyle to pull myself out of
[1:55]the stagnant way I have been living for
[1:57]so long in truth I know I'm getting
[2:00]there it just doesn't feel fast
[2:03]enough and that's that's really what I
[2:06]wanted to share this morning um very
[2:08]curious about your thoughts if you if
[2:10]you want to share
[2:12]them and I'll probably make some more
[2:15]updates later in the day my mom's coming
[2:17]over it's been a couple weeks she's just
[2:19]had her own thing going on but she's
[2:21]coming over today and we're just going
[2:22]to try to get things organized in this
[2:25]house so I can finally start getting
[2:27]this stuff out of here selling it
[2:29]donating it whatever I have to do to get
[2:31]it out of here I've been
[2:35]contemplating something new that came up
[2:38]for me I realized that when you Embrace
[2:40]this lifestyle like for me it was all
[2:42]about the adventure being on the road
[2:44]living in a camper but I didn't really
[2:46]think about the things that come with
[2:48]that it's also about tiny living I mean
[2:50]and that's a whole other mindset that I
[2:52]just never even crossed my mind
[2:54]reflecting on
[2:56]that um you know and I want to share
[2:58]some thoughts on that later I think I
[3:01]also did buy a bunch of stuff from
[3:02]Amazon it's coming today and tomorrow
[3:04]the reason I'm telling you that is
[3:06]because it's all RV
[3:08]related and I'll just go into some more
[3:11]details about that um in future videos
[3:15]I'm going to do more insulating today
[3:17]hopefully I'm just waiting for my tape
[3:19]to get here my jeep's still in the shop
[3:22]there's a lot to do I'm you
[3:23]know I don't know I just feel like I'm
[3:26]just not doing it fast enough I just I
[3:29]can't seem to shake that feeling I I
[3:31]haven't set a firm date on when I'm
[3:34]moving um I'm trying I'm shooting for my
[3:37]birthday April 11th but I didn't like
[3:39]make that a firm date cuz like what if
[3:41]I'm not ready on that date and what do
[3:43]you guys think do you think you should
[3:45]set a date and whether you're ready or
[3:47]not leave on that day or should you be
[3:50]more flexible guess there's a lot in my
[3:52]head today they're just you know I'm
[3:54]just I'm processing a lot of this still
[3:56]so I'll leave it there uh if you guys
[4:00]guys have any advice or wisdom you want
[4:02]to share I'm always open to it um thank
[4:05]you for
[4:07]listening
