You know what?! I’m done listening to everyone who tells me I can’t do something. I want to live in a shipping container and everyone says it’s not possible. I know it’s possible to live in one successfully, people have done it before. Some have had horrible experiences with it, others are proud of their decision and still going strong to this day. Society tells me I can’t have a job living in a shipping container just cuz it ain’t a “house” with a number on the outside. But that’s BS, I’ve heard of people pulling it off successfully. And all these soccer moms, desk job working dads keep telling me “haha good luck with that bud” or “have fun with no internet lol”. Everyone keeps doubting it’s possible cuz they’re all so ingrained into “the system” that anything different from their world is considered impossible. Well I’m not giving into their discouragement! I mean it’s not like I’m trying to fly or create light from thin air…what i’m trying to do is totally doable. I mean for crying out loud shipping containers exist. And others have done what I’m talking about and guess what some of them have jobs too. Anything out of the ordinary makes people uncomfortable or perhaps even jealous just cuz they repeated their parents lifestyle. I don’t wanna become a soccerdad living in the suburbs at 35yrs of age someday. I don’t wanna be a stressed out customer at some grocery store who gets angry over silly things. I don’t wanna become a millionaire, or a billionaire. I don’t wanna live to the age of 75yrs just so i can roll around in a wheel chair all day or worse lay in a stupid bed. I don’t need security nor do i want it. I’m tired of being a dependent “child” at the age of 20yrs. Society says having a job and raising a family is the only way to become a grown man and i think thats BS. That’s not the only way. Men come in all forms. Just cuz somebody lives in the suburbs with a family of 7 and 2 nice cars, it doesn’t mean they’re happy. They may have “successfully” worked for that for themselves and their family but are they really happy? I know growing up in this lifestyle was a nightmare at times. Parents losing their cool with their kids cuz they decided to fuck one night without protection. Yeah I guess I am just an accident cuz when I was talking about kids one day my dad jokingly said “I don’t think anybody plans on having kids”. See what I’m saying, I don’t wanna be around these type of people. People who throw a tantrum over a tub of lard at the supermarket, or people who shoot down everyones dreams. I’ve lived around these types all my life. And no I’m not an idiot, yes i know making moves like this require planning and some money. BIG DEAL, I’ll plan it out. I ain’t lazy.

Fuckin’ – A, with a capital F, man. More power to you. If it works for you, go for it! All those “regular” people with their homes and mortgages and stocks and bonds – they secretly hate the burden of regularity and cry themselves to sleep at night because “We have everything we’re supposed to have, we’re doing everything we’re supposed to be doing, but we’re just not happy!”
Follow your heart and ignore the nay sayers. They’re full of shit.
Yeah well I’ll tell ya straight up, their “world” is shit
You got that right. Anything away from them is paradise, the only thing that might not be paradise is the memory of the hell you had to go through
That is also my goal – to live outside of society. But not in a shipping container if I’m lucky. I plan to build a house off the grid been planning since late 2012. Only thing in way is funding. I can not find a job. But I do study architecture so it’s gonna be beautiful, I just doubt it will ever happen. I have a shitty life now.
I tremendously respect you, stand for what you believe in, I completely agree with your idea that anything that people see out of the norm is wrong, when it isn’t. Keep progress reports, be vigilant and steadfast for what you believe in, I totally feel you with the being around people you dont want to be around, it makes it very hard for you to grow independently as an adult, and as your own personality, with so many negative influences to try and castrate any abstract ideas you might have. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.
