I lived in my car for a few months last year. It was cold and you have to figure out how to hide in plain sight but I read a bunch of books and now that I have an apartment I miss it. I was in a large city at the time too, so I saved a ton on rent.

I relate a lot to you. I will work a lot in sporadic pulses but then I usually quit after my boss is mean to me and coast off of my savings. I have a lot less money than I'd like because of it, and a lot of credit card debt, but it is what it is. I don't have a solution for you.

Have you read Siddhartha? It's a short book and while it doesn't so much as guide you on what to do, it refreshes your mind that you can do whatever you want.

bc the electrical connections in the squat was bad

For utilities it is someone achievable to set up some off grid utilities like heat n electricity for less than 500 dollars that don't have risk of fire. Plus they let u squat in areas without utils set up. Tho I bet most squatters don't have that much money to spend on that sadly.

Fuck, one week more and I still without energy to simply do the things I like, to read and study what I want

Been having some really good progress with work and housing which is really nice n anxiety inducing. Pretty sure I'm going to put an offer on a home soon. Annoying to deal with a lot of self doubt n worry since I seriously messed up my last attempt.

With my work continues at my current progression I should be able to pull off one of my most impressive mutual aid projects yet. Which is exciting to look forward towards.

For almost all the cheap houses I'm looking at they are in in vast majority black neighborhoods. Like a slightly over one percent white population. Nothing wrong with that but it will be a massive culture shock for me. Moving from an area so white that I have a decent amount of family members who are against interacting relationship.

So I bet my move will have me live in an area vastly different than what I'm used to so I will be able to learn and grow a lot. Which is cool.

Been smoking too much tbh. Still deciding if I want to limit my use or not bc I really like to smoke but shit is bad for u lol.

I've been starting to get pangs of loneliness as I've been in one of my anti social moods again. But still not enough that I feel like trying to make friends or hang out with people. Tho I think most of my social interactions being with people who I don't like that well or being bickering wit people on social media isn't probably the best. Tho I have no real desire to look for friends atm. Tho I think part of it is that it's really hard to find people I would actually like or who understand me. So I have to spend lots of time and effort to make friends and the friends being people who I wouldn't like to talk to is probably why my current anti social moods has been going on for so long.

I live doing the most anxiety inducing things possible all the time but dealing with all the anxiety all the time is rough. Lol

everything is grey and wet today.

I've been trying to repair my computer screen: the ccfl backlight lamp broke and I'm replacing them with leds. It's the first time I'm doing microelectronics seriously and it's really fun, learning about components and stuff.

That is basically serfdom where you work for landowner and have nothing for yourself. Often that is also the most hardest work there is. People working in farms are constantly abused and used as nothing more than slaves.

Doing some boring, 9-5 office job is far more easier and pays more.

I hate when I can't lit the heater bc I can't pay the electric bill..

My neighbor jokingly said to me: "who is your tenant? We probably should squat this whole building.." -I smiled and agreed before saying goodnight.

The thing is, the building is small I would love to squat it and run it like a good squat.. it's heartbreaking to see kids and families dying in fires bc the electrical connections in the squat was bad (and then there are skinhead attacks against these ppl, bc they are mostly migrants).

Fuck, one week more and I still without energy to simply do the things I like, to read and study what I want..

Most recently for telling my nephew that death is something that exists and all people experience it at some point.

to be fair, a magical man in the sky is more believable than the fact that all the adults around the world are conspiring against children and lying to them for the sole reason that they find it cute.

Edit: Also I am slightly convinced that Santa Claus is also a ploy to raise kids to be chill about living in a police state.

Can you elaborate this? For the rest of your post, I agree.

...and grow accustomed to the idea of slave labour being okay.
