Funny how this story comes, and funnier how it's named 'get in the van'. I recently left my old life, one that would be considered successful by many people because of the pay involved and the field I was working in. The thing is, my creativity and problem solving was being limited and leading up to right before I left, I ended up having heart problems. I think sometimes the body manifests physical issues where your emotional issues lie - my heart just wasn't in it. Now I'm pursuing something different, something incredibly hard and something that's going to take all of my skills just to survive, oh and here's the kicker. I'm living in a van. My sleep and sanity has never been better even though I'm pushing pennies every month, but everything feels right. Nicely written article, definitely resonated with me and came at a time where I'm quite literally living the contents.
