My life right now is anything but normal. I live in a car! However, the initial shock has settled out. Jonah jumped off the boat about a month ago and the waters have been pretty calm ever since. Is that it? Is there anything else to learn? Have I arrived? Have I tapped out my experience?
These days, I do my thing after work which usually consists of a lot of hanging out, dinner, and maybe some writing if I get a spare hour. Late at night I brush my teeth and spit into the bushes, look left and right, then hop into Shadow for a "normal" night's sleep. I wake up, go to work, and do it all over again. It's funny how the bizzarro, which never drains of strange to the people I tell, has become perfectly normal to me. I could honestly say that I'd be fine going until Christmas living like I am, but I won't. In the same moment, I've lost my fever for pursuing new homeless adventures. Sure, I could initiate Phase II which consists of sleeping in random places like behind fences, up on rooftops, or under bushy thickets, but why? I could do that just as easily one night a month while renting an apartment and get the same experience out of it!
I'm ready for something new and exciting in life. This adventure is coming to a close and I can't wait to see what's next.
