🌠 News flash: Not everyone will get your journey—especially when it breaks tradition. And honestly? That’s okay.
Oof. This is one of those things many of us in alternative living run into. People mean well when trying to help—but sometimes that “help” feels more like a reminder that we’re not fitting the mold or following the rulebook.
When you choose (or even fall into) a lifestyle outside the norm—whether it’s vehicle living, solo travel, or nomadic rebuilding—society often sees it as:
💔A threat to the norm
💔Abnormal
💔Or downright unacceptable
Why? Because the societal lens is often shaped by mass perception, not personal truth.
And yet—people have been recreating and reimagining life for centuries. What was once considered “crazy” is now innovative, freeing, even trending.
Truth is, I didn’t plan this lifestyle. I didn’t wake up one day and say “I want to live in my car.” But here I am—making it work, rebuilding, and redefining what a comeback looks like.
And I’ve learned this: use discernment when sharing your journey. Protect your peace. Some people (aka the muggles) just won’t get it—and they don’t have to.
To those on this journey too: do the best you can. Reclamation isn’t always understood, but it’s always worth it.
