[0:01]good morning
[0:03]volans it's 7 in the morning I can't
[0:06]sleep there is stuff falling on the roof
[0:09]at terminal
[0:12]velocity birds are out making a bunch of
[0:19]noise it's just one of those
[0:23]days noways this is not fun just there
[0:26]just are that's realistic
[0:30]is right in the center of the bed
[0:33]like he's like I'm not moving like this
[0:37]is my
[0:38]space now he's
[0:46]up hi
[0:49]Bailey I have a dentist appointment
[0:53]today I really don't want to go cuz it's
[0:55]so far away and it's
[0:58]just a wax trying or something simple
[1:02]like I don't think it's very not a big
[1:09]deal I'm kind of concerned about those
[1:12]noises cuz I'm not kidding when I say
[1:15]terminal velocity like it was loud it's
[1:18]happened several times being under these
[1:27]trees this lifestyle really
[1:31]there are just so many little things you
[1:33]do not think
[1:38]about that's why I talk about them so
[1:41]that you know about
[1:46]them I don't can't say I love this yet
[1:50]because I just I I
[1:53]don't probably just been sitting here
[1:55]for an hour time to get out of this bed
[1:58]and start my day
[2:02]that's going to be a long one I need to
[2:05]empty
[2:07]that like twice a day so before somebody
[2:11]labels my first clip complaining that's
[2:15]just me processing my morning I like to
[2:18]do that on camera
[2:21]sometimes there are strategies I can
[2:24]employ I can use a fan for White Noise I
[2:28]hadn't had to do that for a while
[2:30]because where I was there's a spider in
[2:33]here
[2:35]yeah man it was like spider web you know
[2:40]which means there's a spider in
[2:42]here
[2:46]um I hadn't had to do that at my last
[2:49]spot
[2:51]because I didn't really realize this but
[2:54]you know the birds are under the Trees
[2:56]of course they
[2:58]are I didn't
[3:01]register and then the nois is on the
[3:04]roof I'm just thinking in my head you
[3:06]know I'm going to have to go up there
[3:09]now
[3:11]because um I'm afraid of heights I don't
[3:13]want to do that but I heard some pretty
[3:15]loud noises which means there's probably
[3:17]stuff up there I got to deal with I'm
[3:19]trying to deal with coffee here I think
[3:21]at this point in my journey there are
[3:23]probably different reasons that people
[3:25]follow me and if if you're subscribed to
[3:28]me because of
[3:30]my RV lifestyle you just need to know
[3:33]that it's got challenges I mean there
[3:37]it's a
[3:38]challenge um we all have different ways
[3:42]of different cognitive
[3:44]Styles I think probably for lots of
[3:46]people it's really not that bad you know
[3:49]if you don't have a fear of heights and
[3:52]um you don't do mind doing things like
[3:54]that then you know it'll be nothing to
[3:57]you to me it is
[4:00]significant like
[4:03]consideration I'm running low on
[4:05]drinking
[4:08]water so this is my daily reminder to
[4:11]get those tanks cleaned I'm doing this
[4:13]slower today because I'm going to try
[4:16]being patient for
[4:20]once let's spill my water
[4:25]everywhere okay we're all ready for
[4:28]coffee it's going
[4:30]high in the low 80s today that sounds
[4:33]like a
[4:34]blessing which is interesting
[4:37]considering high in the low 80s isn't
[4:39]actually Pleasant
[4:41]so just it's Pleasant compared to what
[4:44]we've been dealing with that's for
[4:50]sure are you having a moment over there
[4:55]Bailey you're so funny
[4:58]buddy look at you
[5:00]so
[5:01]indecent all right
[5:04]so the part that doesn't come out in my
[5:07]processing is what's going on in my head
[5:09]so at the same time that these things
[5:11]are falling on my roof I'm thinking
[5:12]should I have moved under this tree
[5:14]canopy maybe I should be in the other
[5:16]part of the campground but then I'm
[5:19]exposed
[5:20][Music]
[5:21]to you know the Sun so it's like these
[5:24]tradeoffs and there aren't any really
[5:26]good answers you just so it's just a
[5:29]system's way of looking at it and I
[5:32]just I don't have an answer I mean cuz
[5:36]I've actually there's quite a lot of
[5:39]um wondering about these trees there's
[5:42]quite a lot of tree debris everywhere so
[5:45]might wake up one day to something
[5:49]truly
[5:56]unpleasant I'm starting to miss my
[5:58]coffee maker
[6:02]oh I love mochas in the
[6:05]morning that's what we'll have to
[6:10]do I always think if people see those
[6:13]they'll think they're bus on my ceiling
[6:15]they're just screws I used to have a net
[6:18]up there to it down I don't know what
[6:21]I'm going to do with the
[6:23]screws you been there a
[6:27]while oh that's hot
[6:31]I tried watching a movie last night I
[6:34]think it's called ji J
[6:37]XI it's about this guy who whose phone
[6:42]takes over his life with sayi on a phone
[6:44]and it is so funny I've seen it before
[6:46]and I thought let's just watch something
[6:48]like that it's not on Netflix anymore
[6:51]it's on Plex and I couldn't watch it
[6:53]because every time it would go to the
[6:55]ads the ads would like pause like
[6:58]constantly and run below and then the
[7:00]movie would be fine but then the
[7:03]ads you know I'd say they're like 2
[7:06]minutes long of ads and it would take
[7:07]like 5 10 minutes I finally just gave up
[7:11]kind of sad have thought Plex was better
[7:14]than
[7:16]that he
[7:22]Bailey I have a very demanding
[7:25]cat cats are
[7:28]demanding but this one real demanding
[7:30]here he
[7:32]comes mhm I knew this was
[7:36]coming oh you are so insistent
[7:39]Bailey yes you are I have been patting
[7:42]you all
[7:44]morning that's my coffee over there if
[7:46]you spill that it will be a
[7:50]tragedy we finally have cink
[7:55]sheets you what
[7:58]man hey
[8:00]don't push yourself against
[8:02]that he does that to my phone a lot I
[8:05]don't know if you guys can notice cuz
[8:07]like I'll be trying to control my phone
[8:10]while I'm recording and he'll be rubbing
[8:12]his face up against
[8:15]it
[8:17]oh what to do today like I am up way
[8:20]earlier than I want to be I'm so
[8:23]self-conscious about dumping my
[8:26]dehumidifier water cuz I'm always
[8:29]thinking people are going to think I'm
[8:30]dumping gray
[8:33]water I don't know why I care I keep
[8:36]telling myself I should it
[8:38]because the way I see people act around
[8:41]here like they are not considerate of
[8:44]the environment so why why do I care if
[8:48]they think I am and I actually am
[8:52]so it is a core part of the way
[8:56]I interact with this world I
[9:01]have got to overcome it it is a
[9:03]challenge I'm working
[9:05]on I mean it's just straight up water
[9:08]just water from the air there's no
[9:10]reason not to just dump
[9:12]it I have to do it so often
[9:18]like
[9:20]yeah this one was staring at me until I
[9:23]decided to point a camera at
[9:25]it melee
[9:33]hello can hear you purring
[9:37]dude you going to stare at me there you
[9:40]go show everyone the stare you have on
[9:44]you oh I know what I can do this morning
[9:48]I can put my clean clothes
[9:51]away oh it was pretty late by the time I
[9:54]got done it was I got here right before
[9:57]it was dark so
[10:00]they're just folded up sitting in my bag
[10:02]I need to put them away um I need to
[10:04]clean the bathroom today I'm going to do
[10:06]that this
[10:08]morning
[10:09]these
[10:12]normal everyday things like I've always
[10:16]struggled with those my whole
[10:18]life but I'm starting to understand why
[10:21]now I always saw it as a character flaw
[10:23]but it actually has to do with the way I
[10:25]think and just my cognitive style and
[10:29]the there's ways to overcome that you
[10:31]just when you truly understand yourself
[10:35]then anything is possible if you don't
[10:39]understand yourself then it's like
[10:40]you're
[10:41]just you're just floating through the
[10:43]world and
[10:45]not able to change in meaningful ways
[10:49]that that are deeply meaningful I have
[10:51]no teeth because of my cognitive style
[10:53]this is this is
[10:55]reality and
[10:59]I I have no judgment about it anymore
[11:02]because I get
[11:03]it apparently it's quite common for
[11:06]people with my cognitive style I'm not
[11:07]going to name names because then it
[11:09]makes it sound like I'm comparing myself
[11:11]to those people I'm
[11:13]not
[11:15]um but quite a lot of deep thinkers had
[11:20]these kinds of
[11:22]challenges so that was
[11:25]validating
[11:27]and I can use it as a lesson as a
[11:30]reminder
[11:32]that you have to maintain your systems
[11:36]you just do you have to maintain your
[11:37]systems because it's not
[11:40]efficient uh to to not
[11:44]because if you know if I had maintained
[11:48]my teeth it would have obviously been an
[11:52]a better outcome for me and a lot less
[11:55]expensive and timec consuming I had to
[11:57]go to the dentist today you know still
[11:59]dealing with getting my implants done
[12:02]and I could have avoided all of that if
[12:05]I had just
[12:08]somehow managed to convince my very
[12:10]weird brain that the little things
[12:14]matter this is such a different
[12:17]lifestyle
[12:18]like I'm awake just chilling on my bed
[12:22]I'm not like in my old life but I'd
[12:25]probably have the TV on by now you know
[12:27]and it'd be playing in the background
[12:29]or
[12:34]um it's
[12:36]different even after four months I'm
[12:41]still I'm I it hasn't like how am I
[12:45]going to I don't know even after 4
[12:48]months I guess I'm still adjusting is
[12:50]what it is I have seen remarkable growth
[12:53]in me that I'm very proud
[12:55]of and I'm also starting to acknowledge
[12:59]that this lifestyle might not be for me
[13:03]which that's a hard truth to have to
[13:04]face cuz I invested a lot in order to
[13:08]get this thing I sacrificed a lot you
[13:11]know got rid of all of my
[13:14]stuff and I don't know that this
[13:16]lifestyle is for
[13:18]me that's a hard thing to have to start
[13:22]facing
[13:25]and despite that fact there are no
[13:28]immediate
[13:29]get solutions to that like I don't think
[13:33]being in a house is the answer didn't
[13:36]enjoy that
[13:38]either
[13:40]um well it really depends on the house I
[13:43]didn't like being in a neighborhood if I
[13:45]had a cabin in the woods I think I'd
[13:47]love
[13:53]that there are just some basic amenities
[13:56]you just really need in life I I I like
[13:58]having a
[13:59]bathtub um I like not having to empty my
[14:02]tanks or get myself level we're a little
[14:04]bit off level and um I can't fix that
[14:08]now it's a lot of effort to bring that
[14:11]slide in and I have other things I have
[14:13]to do so I just have to tolerate it mean
[14:17]we're mostly level but we're not
[14:22]um we're not level on One Direction like
[14:26]from front to back it feels like we're
[14:28]going this way
[14:30]yeah and I've noticed that that affects
[14:32]so many things it affects my sleep my my
[14:35]back hurts a little bit which that had
[14:38]gone away for a while so I think me
[14:40]fixing my bed platform and
[14:43]then um being level that made a
[14:47]difference and now being unlevel is is
[14:50]showing me just how much of a difference
[14:52]it
[14:53]made these are just challenges though I
[14:57]don't particularly enjoy having to face
[14:59]all the
[15:00]time that's reality that's what you
[15:02]don't hear on a lot of other RV life
[15:06]channels mine is not an RV Life channel
[15:09]I've been saying that since pretty much
[15:11]day one but there's a lot of RV life
[15:14]content so I guess we could we could
[15:17]label it that
[15:20]way and that's the reality this
[15:24]is not a glamorous lifestyle it is not I
[15:30]I didn't embark on this journey you know
[15:32]I do want to clarify that I didn't
[15:35]embark on this journey watching other
[15:37]YouTubers make this thing look glamorous
[15:39]this was something I just felt a deep
[15:41]need to do and I think I did need to do
[15:44]it um but you know at once I did do it I
[15:48]started watching that content and I see
[15:51]the way they present it and that's not
[15:53]reality and you need to know that it's
[15:55]not reality and I say that recognizing
[15:58]that we're all different different you
[15:59]know I have a pretty unique cognitive
[16:02]style for some people it would be less
[16:05]challenging and for some people they
[16:06]would absolutely love it but it still
[16:08]wouldn't be glamorous those channels
[16:11]still don't represent
[16:12]reality it's very easy to romanticize
[16:15]this
[16:17]lifestyle I certainly
[16:20]did and there are aspects of it worth
[16:24]romanticizing that feel like an accurate
[16:27]representation of how you're
[16:28]romanticizing it but there is just so
[16:32]much more than
[16:34]that and I think that those
[16:38]channels let me reward that I I think
[16:41]that we need a more balanced perspective
[16:44]whether or not it comes from those
[16:45]channels it doesn't really matter to me
[16:47]but we need a more balanced
[16:55]perspective we just
[16:57]do hey guess I'm going to leave it there
[17:00]for today I'm going to deal with um the
[17:03]things I mentioned I want to clean my
[17:05]bathroom get my clothes put away maybe
[17:09]there's some other things I can do
[17:10]around here I'm going to try to make
[17:12]some breakfast I could use some eggs or
[17:14]something
[17:15]and then I got to drive an hour and a
[17:18]half to the dentist and an hour and a
[17:19]half back
[17:26]and I'm just debating the fact that if I
[17:30]post this it tells my parents I'll be at
[17:32]the dentist
[17:33]today I hate having to this is this is
[17:37]how my mind works too I'm seeing all the
[17:39]Angles
[17:41]and I do not want to be ambushed by them
[17:52]so that is another thing I'm struggling
[17:54]with in life right now of course there's
[17:57]an answer and that's simply just a wait
[17:58]to post this until I'm leaving there
[18:00]right
