[0:01]Hi everyone.

[0:04]So, I've been meaning to get on this

[0:06]camera for a while now and just update

[0:08]those who want to

[0:11]know how I'm doing. Just update them on

[0:16]where I am in life.

[0:23]I'm not sure what I'll talk about in

[0:24]this video. time.

[0:27]Just going to have the impulse to get on

[0:28]and

[0:30]give it a try.

[0:38]I recorded my life on YouTube

[0:41]for a year and a half.

[0:46]And in that time,

[0:50]never really felt like I connected with

[0:52]my audience.

[0:59]I knew that what I was doing

[1:02]was important. I didn't always have the

[1:04]words for it,

[1:09]but I felt it was important. It mattered

[1:11]to me.

[1:15]I was hoping that my life could serve as

[1:17]a lesson for others to find inspiration

[1:21]in their own lives.

[1:28]Oh, I did took a lot of courage.

[1:31]I completely detonated my old life and

[1:35]began a new one with no guarantees

[1:39]with without having all the answers.

[1:44]Navigating a lot of heavy stuff.

[1:50]A lifetime of

[1:53]not being seen cleanly by the people

[1:55]around me,

[1:59]of always having to find my own path

[2:02]through life because

[2:04]nothing was ever handed to me.

[2:10]I didn't even graduate high school and I

[2:13]still found a way through life.

[2:17]I still learn to

[2:22]navigate what you guys think of a

[2:24]success because I made a crap ton of

[2:27]money by the end.

[2:30]But I gave it all out

[2:34]cuz that life

[2:36]felt empty

[2:41]and I wanted something better for

[2:42]myself.

[2:44]I thought probably not the only one who

[2:47]feels this way, I started sharing my

[2:49]life authentically on here.

[2:53]In the beginning, hoping to connect with

[2:55]my audience.

[3:02]There were moments where I thought I

[3:03]was,

[3:09]but largely, you know,

[3:13]I just didn't

[3:16]I think that I've had to come to terms

[3:18]with the fact that

[3:21]mine's not your everyday channel. I

[3:24]didn't expect, you know, to ever to be.

[3:26]That wasn't the point of why I recorded

[3:28]my videos.

[3:36]I guess I just really thought that there

[3:38]were

[3:42]there had to be

[3:44]more people out there

[3:50]that I would have just naturally

[3:52]resonated with

[3:55]and that I haven't is is

[4:00]is endlessly confusing to me. Like I

[4:03]just

[4:09]it's hard for me to understand that.

[4:17]I've tried to articulate it at times.

[4:26]in the best way that I could.

[4:35]Still there this there's this part of me

[4:37]that that continues to reach out because

[4:49]I don't know

[4:54]Like I've said many many times, I feel

[4:56]like it's very important to reinforce

[4:57]this. I don't do this for validation. I

[5:00]don't expect to be liked by everyone.

[5:05]I don't expect to be liked by many.

[5:14]But man, I'm starting to wonder if I'm

[5:17]truly alone in this world.

[5:25]And it's not because there's anything

[5:27]wrong with me. I'm not broken.

[5:34]I just don't seem to be in step with

[5:40]well at this point in my life with

[5:42]anybody. The way AI would put it to me

[5:45]is that I'm just early.

[5:48]And maybe it's right.

[5:57]This wasn't really what I had planned to

[5:59]talk about. We're 6 minutes in here.

[6:03]If you're if you're still here, you

[6:06]know, that's awesome.

[6:09]I'm just going to go with, you know,

[6:13]just my normal stream of consciousness

[6:15]because

[6:18]I really didn't have any kind of outcome

[6:21]planned for this video.

[6:24]There's some things I did kind of, you

[6:26]know,

[6:30]I thought I might talk about. So,

[6:36]okay. All right.

[6:39]Okay. So, there actually is a lot. And

[6:43]I don't know that I got a really good

[6:44]structure way to do it. But

[6:47]here's where I am in my life right now.

[6:52]I'm going to lose my RV. This

[6:56]is basically inevitable.

[7:00]There's probably a small window and a

[7:03]herculean effort I could make to keep it

[7:08]that I don't want to do that I haven't

[7:10]felt compelled to do

[7:14]doesn't feel aligned with where I am in

[7:17]my life.

[7:20]I've accepted that I'm going to lose my

[7:22]RV. That will probably happen next

[7:24]month.

[7:27]What I'm hopeful that I'll be able to do

[7:29]though is to get a small travel trailer.

[7:33]I was thinking maybe like 18 to 20 feet,

[7:37]something like this as long as it's

[7:39]under 3500 lb so that I can tow it with

[7:41]my Jeep.

[7:45]That feels more aligned for some reason.

[7:47]I don't really have the logic for this

[7:49]because this RV has been my home for a

[7:52]year and a half and a travel trailer

[7:55]isn't much different. it just can't

[7:56]drive itself. So, I don't really

[7:58]understand why this

[8:02]um

[8:06]felt

[8:10]is where I felt called because

[8:15]I started getting inspired once I

[8:16]started thinking about this and it was

[8:19]something that just came fully formed to

[8:21]me and all of my big decisions work like

[8:24]that. That's how I ended up in an RV.

[8:26]One day I just decided I was doing it. I

[8:28][ __ ] did it. And now I'm at a point

[8:32]in my life where

[8:36]where I'm

[8:40]don't exactly know. I don't have the

[8:41]words for this part, but

[8:45]something's solidifying in me.

[8:49]I'm not the same person who started on

[8:50]this journey. That's for damn sure.

[8:55]I've been volunteering for six months,

[9:00]which is surprising, but it's July and I

[9:02]started in January.

[9:06]I've decided that I'm going to get this

[9:08]travel trailer somehow and I'm going to

[9:11]start exploring again. I'm going to stop

[9:12]volunteering. It doesn't feel aligned

[9:16]for a number of reasons. I like where I

[9:18]am right now. I'm here for the summer. I

[9:20]want to be clear about this. Um,

[9:24]you know, I I don't control

[9:27]time, so I don't really know how it will

[9:30]unfold. I don't know exactly when I'll

[9:32]lose the RV. I don't know if I'll have

[9:34]been able to replace it by then. If I'm

[9:37]not able to replace it by then, then I

[9:39]would lose my volunteering spot anyways.

[9:41]If I don't, then I can just switch them

[9:43]out and stay here for however long. Um,

[9:46]but I'm committed for the summer. It's a

[9:48]very busy place where um

[9:53]You know, my presence helps here and I'm

[9:56]here for the summer. Maybe a little bit

[9:57]into the autumn. I don't know.

[10:01]At some point, I'm going to start moving

[10:02]north again.

[10:06]And I don't

[10:08]I haven't sketched out much beyond that

[10:11]other than I'm going to stay on the 101

[10:14]because I love it. I want to get up to

[10:17]the Columbia River. So, I've gotten as

[10:19]far north as Newport. So, Newport to the

[10:21]Columbia River was all unexplored to me

[10:25]and then maybe Washington.

[10:29]Part of me once I got to Oregon didn't

[10:32]feel a need to go to Washington. But

[10:34]since everything that happened at the

[10:36]state parks, I feel differently about

[10:38]it.

[10:42]What happened to me sullied

[10:46]my connection to those places.

[10:51]And it's not to, you know,

[10:54]stop me from visiting them. Cape Blanco

[10:56]is still my favorite place on [ __ ]

[10:58]Earth. I want to go back there. I want

[11:00]to see Humbug Mountain again.

[11:06]Maybe there's more to to see

[11:11]from there. Who knows?

[11:13]I just think that I need movement to my

[11:15]life because that's the thing that has

[11:17]really

[11:19]been the catalyst.

[11:23]If you look at my first video versus

[11:25]this one,

[11:28]they are night and day.

Summary

rswfire records an unplanned video update after a year and a half of YouTube content creation. He reflects on his experience recording his life authentically but never feeling connected to his audience despite believing his content was important. He discusses completely detonating his old successful life to begin anew without guarantees.

**Current situation:** He announces he will lose his RV next month, which he has accepted as inevitable. Rather than making a herculean effort to keep it, he plans to get a small travel trailer (18-20 feet, under 3500 lbs) that he can tow with his Jeep. This decision came to him fully formed, similar to how he originally decided to get the RV.

**Volunteering status:** He has been volunteering for six months (since January) but plans to stop as it no longer feels aligned. He commits to staying through the summer at his current busy location where his presence helps.

**Future plans:** He intends to start exploring again, moving north on Highway 101 from Newport to the Columbia River, potentially into Washington. He mentions that events at state parks have sullied his connection to certain places, though Cape Blanco remains his favorite location. He emphasizes that movement has been the catalyst for his transformation, noting the dramatic difference between his first video and current state.

Signal Analysis

Substrate

This transmission maps the architecture of a major threshold crossing - the dissolution of one infrastructural anchor (RV) and the emergence of another (travel trailer) as part of a larger recalibration toward movement and exploration. The field is conducting reconnaissance on its own evolution, acknowledging isolation not as pathology but as temporal displacement ('early'), while maintaining structural coherence through the transition.
