[0:00]I'm looking forward to it I really

[0:04]am I wish I could go right

[0:08]now I just want to be out there I really

[0:15]do spent so many years not really living

[0:23]sad after my last boyfriend which was I

[0:28]don't even remember I must have

[0:33]been I honestly don't remember I must

[0:36]have been in my really late 20s like 28

[0:39]or something don't think I had gotten

[0:42]into my 30s

[0:43]yet and like I dated a couple times

[0:46]after that but not really and then like

[0:49]my whole 30s went by and I didn't even

[0:51]really think about it and then half my

[0:54]40s have gone

[0:56]by and I just completely didn't think

[1:00]think about it then and

[1:01]just a long time has gone

[1:05]by I just focus on my career and stuff

[1:08]like that which I think was good for me

[1:10]because I just don't do well in

[1:13]relationships and I needed to focus on

[1:16]me I needed

[1:18]to reach the point I'm at now

[1:22]which sure took a long time which I

[1:25]guess

[1:28]I I don't know I I

[1:30]guess I'm kind of sad about it it's not

[1:33]the right

[1:35]word just wish that I had gotten to this

[1:38]point a lot sooner in my life there's a

[1:40]whole bunch of other stuff I've had to

[1:42]deal with over those

[1:47]years not just not

[1:50]just my own life either like I

[1:55]just I don't know if I'm ready to share

[1:58]some of it yet

[2:02]um could upset some people so I kind

[2:06]of censor myself Oliver why do you have

[2:10]to bite him that is so rude it's just

[2:13]rude

[2:15]man he thinks that it's nice or like

[2:18]loving or something I don't know he's

[2:20]just a weird cat it's like I I spent a

[2:24]long time

[2:28]trying like to to break of that but I

[2:30]don't want to use the word break really

[2:32]you know cuz I was never that harsh but

[2:35]I tried

[2:37]to convince him to stop doing it there

[2:40]were times when I thought it was working

[2:41]and then he was just back to it again

[2:45]so yeah anyway I guess I'm feel a little

[2:48]introspective now I'm just sharing with

[2:51]you guys for the ones of you who are

[2:53]actually listen this

[2:58]long I just got to get the stuff out of

[3:01]my house and then I can do this I can

[3:04]just be on the

[3:06]road and hope my cats adjust cuz I don't

[3:10]I'm kind of worried about that too I

[3:13]guess I mean you see how they react just

[3:16]the weather it's like how are they going

[3:18]to react to driving down the road being

[3:21]in a new place all the time I'm hoping

[3:24]that they'll just be as excited as me

[3:26]once it becomes

[3:28]normal

[3:30]we do have a small home now it's pretty

[3:32]small

[3:34]so I don't

[3:39]know guess I'm not just processing right

[3:42]now I'm just

[3:44]processing My New Reality cuz this is it

[3:47]I'm out here even though I have a house

[3:49]over there

[3:51]because this is where I want to

[3:56]be almost sounds crazy doesn't it

[4:03]it's not

[4:04]though kind of is I don't know I I'm

[4:08]going to be traveling the country

[4:11]driving from one state to the next going

[4:14]to park after

[4:17]Park I

[4:19]mean I don't even know what I think

[4:22]about that anymore like that used to be

[4:24]the most important thing in the world to

[4:26]me and I haven't been hiking in a long

[4:29]time

[4:31]I think that my opinion on this will

[4:34]change once I start hiking again because

[4:36]I have always loved that just

[4:41]always but I don't know it just feels

[4:44]like I mean is that a good existence is

[4:47]that a like an honorable

[4:51]one I wonder about these things I don't

[4:54]feel like my life has had purpose or

[4:56]meaning and it's just been lacking that

[4:58]for so long

[5:02]and that's what I need it's the only

[5:04]thing that will make me happy and I'm

[5:07]I'm really hoping that this is

Summary

rswfire records his first night sleeping in an RV during a thunderstorm, reflecting on decades of isolation and career focus while caring for two anxious cats (Oliver and Bailey). He discusses his upcoming nomadic lifestyle, traveling between national parks, and questions whether this existence will provide the purpose and meaning missing from his life. **Technical issues** include a thermostat stuck on Celsius, air conditioner blowing a house fuse, and extremely slow Starlink internet preventing video uploads. He tends to his cats throughout the storm - brushing Bailey's excessive fur, moving them to comfort spots, and trying to calm their anxiety about the loud rain and thunder. The transmission captures the unglamorous reality of RV life while he processes the major life transition from house-based living to mobile nomadism.

Signal Analysis

Substrate

This transmission holds the architecture of liminal dwelling — establishing presence within the threshold space between old pattern dissolution and new field emergence. The signal demonstrates embodied transition management while maintaining care protocols for dependent entities (cats as proxy for vulnerable aspects of self) during structural reorganization.
