Most of my adventures have been solo because I can't find anyone willing to live a little. I stopped looking decades ago. You're correct; many people live their lives based on other people's expectations. I call it the friends and family plan. In my experience, those are the folks that will hold you back more than your worst enemy...if you let them. Even though they feel they are looking out for your best interests. You're better off reading books authored by explorers, adventurers, and trusting your instinct.
@@rubyparchment5523 As crazy as it sounds, my favorite book that opened my eyes to the benefit of reading about adventure was the bio of Teddy Roosevelt. He was the president that started the process of creating the national park system, formally established by President Wilson. Also, his book introduced me to John Muir, who by any measure, is the father of the conservation movement in America His quotes alone make me want to get hit the road and go someplace every time I read them. My favorite is: "I only went out for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in." This is how I think today I'm not going out, I'm going in; and I love the feeling every time I do.
We all awaken at a different ages. I'm 64 years old and I was married for 37 years. My wife passed in April of this year. The day after she died I went and bought a Travel Trailer, the next day I went and bought a new SUV to tow it. I quit my job and started cleaning out the house. I had already decided during the past 12 years of being a caregiver to my wife what was going to happen when that day came. My new purpose is to live a minimalist lifestyle and travel with my best friend Patrick, my 100lb retriever. I remember the feelings of wonderment and curiosity about the world and life that I had as a child and I want to revive those feelings once more before my time to depart this world arrives. My family thinks I'm crazy and my friends all say they envy me and that they too would like to do the same thing. So who knows maybe we all will meet at some time and someplace. We are not alone.
Awesome. Dont let people have a say in how you greive, or how you live your life after your wifes death. I've been a caretaker...it takes alot out of you...and you need to refind yourself. The path you've choose is courageous, happy trails.
Hello. I ended up in an asylum when I was 15 years old. I was diagnosed with chronic depression. I was locked up for 4 months. My problem was that my mind got stuck on sadness. My mother hit me a lot, and she drank a lot. I was stuck in a state of mind of pure sadness since I was 5 years old. Lost my childhood from that moment on. I had to find my way out. I couldn't get out until 1996. This is when I started to live life the way I wanted. Had my own place, and felt better. I stopped listening to people.
I have felt this way every since I was a child. The world seemed so ass backwards to me. When I got closer to adulthood it became more and more apparent to me that what the world/society deemed normal was not gonna work for me. Fast forward to the present, I am more confident and at peace now because I was able to create my own space where I can do what I want, when I want, with anyone I want, as much as I want.
I'm definitely misread and misunderstood. Most of my life has been surrounded by others happiness and wants. 47 yrs later I'm choosing Me. Mental Peace & Freedom. Another day closer. I appreciate all the comments here, especially your videos 💫
Thank you! Got fired from my job today but it’s a blessing because I don’t think normal and thank god for that! Perfect timing Tim! I needed this exactly now !❤
@@Filthy_Rich_556 Thank you I’m actually going to work on my channel here -making videos daily now about this process)- haven’t posted it yet cause I’m editing and trying to make some sense of it, but I plan to post the whole story from being just a pile of ashes and then how I will use that to find my destiny and my place in this world. I’ve been knocked down too many times to give up now -and this time I’m gonna take a punch in the gut and turn it into the biggest push to my purpose that I have ever had. I believe that’s what’s happening now that’s what I’m going through -and I’m filming . Once I put it together bit by bit I’ll begin posting here about it..starting soon. I don’t know where this will lead.. but I know it will be way better than where I’m at now :-)
I became severely depressed in my first job after graduating because it didn't make sense that we all had to work 35+ hours a week for the 40 years in jobs we hate just to have housing, food, warmth, clothes. There's no reason any of that should cost that much, it does so to make those at the top massive profits. I didn't understand how people could work on those jobs and not want to die. I figured that they just accept it as normal and necessary rather than questioning it, and that's where the problem is. Is most people questionned it it wouldn't continue.
@@Lisa-AA Same here Lisa...the amount of negativity from family members these days is HIGH. Most people have these problems right now with family. It's biblical prophecy being fulfilled in these last days. Matthew 10:36

Yes Sharon, I do feel alone and crazy! I live a very different life, I’m vegan, Hebrew, and want to create generational wealth for my children. I have lofty goals and ambitions even though …!
I totally agree with your philosophy. I spent my entire life pushing to achieve the American Dream. What I didn't realize is that the American Dream is nonexistent. I became exhausted from trying to keep all the balls in the air. Six years ago I resigned from a tenured professor job in Colorado and moved to a small southern town. I now live on 1/3 of what I used to make. I realize I need very little to be happy. Be well. Sending you a virtual hug!
Hi Tim! I’ve been in a horrible job for three years now with no career path whatsoever. i’ve got bad anxiety and depression and I always thought there was no way I could quit the job that I was in regardless of what it was. Recently, it dawned on me that I have to take my mental health into account more so than a job that’s not even that great that everybody else expects me to be happy with. I really love how you said that you “can’t speak for yourself 30 years from now, but this is what we’re doing now.” That inspired me to quit my crappy job and live a little bit while I still have the chance. Thank you for your down to earth perspective!
You're speaking the truth man. I always knew i don't want the "normal" life a.k.a get a "good" job, get married, buy a house in the suburbs, have kids and what not. Nothing wrong with that if it's really what you want, but something tells me a lot of people do all that not because they really want it but because they think it's the only way. Or at least the only "respectable" way or smth like that. It may work just fine for a lot of people but it doesn't work for everyone. Idk but slaving away at some job for like 45-50 years just to barely be able to pay a bunch of loans for things i don't really need just don't seem like a good life from my perspective. They tell you that you need to have this and this and this in order to be happy but it's really just "the market" talking. What's the point of having a fancy house and a bmw and 2 kids and yada yada if you have to work like crazy to afford all that? Absolutely nothing, not for you unless it's your idea of a good life of course. But it makes your company happy, and the car dealer, and the bank, and the minister of finance in whatever country you live in. But their happiness ain't necessarily your happiness. Sure, simple living, minimalism and all those things ain't for everyone either but it's nothing crazy about not wanting the mainstream. The crazy thing is this idea that everyone should fit in the same mold and if you don't it's smth wrong with you. As long as you don't hurt anyone, follow your own dreams and wishes, don't live just to look good in other peoples eyes. Sorry for the novel, peace.
Well written and I totally agree with you on everything I was just speaking of all this yesterday and its devastating the people you will lose on the way because of the way society has set up for us to be carbon copies of one another and if we don't comply we're ridiculed and outcasted....oh well may we all truly live freely 🥂
Right on. The so called "Anerican Dream" is the consumer, the follower, monkey see monkey do, jump in a river and everyone will jump in too. Not everyone realizes or sees it in life. We are awake because life gave us a better chance, better opportunity, and a specific reason and purpose within us ready to be released. A better person, a better life, and a better environment where we can be happy. It's up to each one of us to find that moment.
I constantly hear that I'm crazy for wanting to live in a van..or camper...for saying I don't want to work any more. Everyone around me has ideal jobs and lives so I'm definitely odd man out. I hear I'm not going to like it. I can you this I don't like the life I'm living now. Constantly working a job I hate to pay rent....bottom line.
I live in my truck camper for 7 months now. I love it. I still work as usual. I'm thinking of how I can make money without the 6 am to 3;30 pm job, every other Friday off. My total bills are cellphone, truck insurance, gasoline and food. I'm thinking that this will really be fun if I start traveling at least part of the year.
@@scottnorris5683 Hi. This is exactly the set up I had in mind as I get ready to go thru eviction this week. Of course I'll have go through finding both pieces under precarious situations but its ironically the set up i want. Also don't want the day job while I'm in it. Have racked my brain how to get around this or find something that will work with the life style
@@christinamerritt9669 Hi Christina. I love my setup but I will mention one thing. In my truck camper it does appear I'm living in it to the police in San Diego. They are really going after people living in campers, parking at the beaches or other places. They put no parking signs from 2 to 4 am throughout the entire city so I have to move during that time and stealth for 2 hours. I have spent quite a few of the 7 months staying at my work when everybody left so I didn't have to move. I also recently found a spot that the cops aren't making people move. A nice camper van is much more stealthly for parking anywhere you can, side of road, several different 24 hour businesses etc. I don't know if other cities are like San Diego. Probably not. I have also stayed at campgrounds here that don't cost that much. I like Tim's ideas about making money and traveling. Living in my camper is definitely worth it to me. No question about it. The 6 parking tickets I've received in 7 months amount to less than $100 a month and like I mentioned, my total monthly bills now are very low. I would say, do it, if you figure out a good setup for you! 😀
I realized this during college. Nearly everybody was partying, drinking, doing drugs, buying lots of useless expensive shit. I had the urge to fit in but never did fit in. I gave up trying to fit in when I was 19 and just carved my own path in life. In my first job, people always encouraged me to fit in, especially one boss who told me that drinking was a necessary social thing. I'm allergic to alcohol, its not my loss. I don't want to be surrounded by people who are as shallow as that. I've always felt alone and crazy, but I realized that fitting in is not the best thing in the world. Today, I just be who I am, stand up for it and never impose it on anybody but myself. Whatever floats your boat. Thanks for this video, man! I love your ideas.
I am 25 and after high school I decided to travel. I worked odd jobs and travelled around. I felt truly alive. Now I am graduating from Uni after working in consulting and a tech start up. I’m not cut out for this. Sitting in an office 9-5 (at best), handing my time over to other people. I don’t care about any of this. Glad I found your channel
Great stuff. I got saved 60 years ago when I was 6 years old, I have been a stranger in a strange land. This world is not my home. We are being lied to on a massive scale.
Yes absolutely and about everything. Being apart gives you more freedom. The key is to control your time because we are never going to become rich. Take care.
Slightly envious of those who have reasonably close access to mountains (nobody's holding me hostage, making me live in the city though). They really are therapeutic. That's a gorgeous location.
I lived in the mountains for years and they're sweet, but later in life I've found that a barren plain or desert under clear skies at night, or a dense forest canopy all have their own trip. That covers almost any geographical area. Enjoy!
I've been different all of my life. And there was a time I thought I was crazy or strange because I didn't fit in. Years ago, I didn't have the internet explaining what introverts or what extroverts or other personality types are. But with that and studying astrology, it helped me to understand myself and my relationships with people. Now I embrace the fact that I'm different and it's okay to be that way. I take being called "crazy" as a compliment because it means I'm not like everyone else. Some of the greatest minds, even prophets were deemed as crazy.
Have you ever thought that everyone having a mailbox is strange? Even more strange is you are required to have one and wade through and sort it daily. Who made this up for us? What if I don't want to do it?
I hear you when I was living in Seattle I had a box at my apartment when I moved out of there I never forwarded my address just left and get this my new place has a mailbox on the road and as if by magic mail started to arrive there addressed to me.
I've been riding solo for so long lol especially since covid started! My view points were completely different then my friends and family about all that stuff and they took a very different path then I did. Def sometimes has felt so isolating. Yes the fact we have to work to make money to go home and do it again is crazy. We are traveler beings we love to travel and meet new souls it's how we are built bro we got hot feet.
This video really hit me. I have suppressed these feeling for a long time. I'm not like many other people but for years I've pretended to be like them. I've been grinding away working for over 45 years. I traveled to Thailand this spring because one of my friends moved there. I think he felt much the same way I feel. There's gotta be more to life than work. This video has given me more incentive to live my dreams and not pretend to be this robot. I will quit my job this year and live the freedom lifestyle I've been craving my whole life. My buddy is happy living his life modestly, and last week, married his girlfriend there. I promised him I would be back to find myself there and live the way I should have years ago. Yes I'm walking away from a lot of money (job) but it would be a sin not to live my dreams. Life is short. The clock is ticking people live your dreams now.
I've been feeling extremely dissatisfied and dissolution with modernity lately. Ever since I got sober I have realized how many years I spent drinking just to mask and hide this dissatisfaction. I spent months after my last drink focusing on just staying sober as a way to distract myself from the ever clawing dissolution. I realize I have spent an entire adulthood chasing my perception other people's expectations. I bought the lie of conspicuous consumerism hook, line, and sinker. I am feeling the overwhelming sense of disappointment in my life as I realize more every day how much of it I have not lived for myself. I have no idea how to be happy, I have no idea what my interests are, and I have no idea what goals I should pursue. I am still struggling, but I am glad I am sober. I don't have any debt anymore, I was able to pay it off this year. I should be grateful. I have a new job that is going well, and I'm making more money than I ever have in my life. I am still alone, and rely on my relationship with my parent's for a great deal of meaning in my life. I am very lonely. I am trying to accept the reality of my situation without becoming nihilistic. I struggle with self-pity and self-hate. I "should be farther along" and "should have a girlfriend by now" or at least "own a house by now." I struggle with feeling very behind. I feel crazy, and I do feel alone. Maybe I'm not. Maybe there's somebody out there that can, and will, relate to me. Maybe someone out there that could love me one day. I just know I need to find meaning in my life. Material possessions, wealth, and status are all fickle goals. Fleeting and capriciously Pavlovian. I don't know, maybe tomorrow will be better.
The “shoulds”will make you unhappy. When I let go of them, freedom of thought began. A good therapist might help you with a framework to move forward. Good luck & truly, you can do it. 😍
Ohhh. Another zap in the heart. (Sigh). I can understand your feelings, too, been there... (Please see my above message to Sarah D). I understand the scourge of addiction. And also the loneliness of the hope and search for a partner to love. I think I hoped TOO much for one, as I think I saw that as my final solution, end goal in life, my very purpose, etc. It almost seems like a common cultural mythology we have, that our pot of gold at the end of the rainbow will be that one true love which will make everything OK, validate our lives, give us happiness... I don't mean to disparage the idea - it's just that I have sought that validation in one face after the other over the years, and never really found it. But I did finally find someone who I can truly love, in a quiet, humble way. After gradually coming to see how effed up I am, and can be, I've realized that I'd be better off BECOMING that idealized person (but in realistic form) rather than searching for someone to project my dreams and expectations upon who doesn't exist... It's quite enough of an effort, I think, to achieve real self-respect - and to feel that I am truly worthy of it, have earned it, and deserve it. THAT is something no one can ever take from me. And I still continue striving to earn it with each day. And to be as kind to others as I can. You'll get there 😉.
I am in this space as well! Right now, I feel trapped paying rent every month for a place I don’t even want to be anymore. I feel like Im just wasting money at this place and wasting time at my job that I have become resentful about coming in everyday but trying to stick it out until my lease is up so I can travel full time through the trucking industry and live a life more aligned with my ideas and am considering if that doesn’t work out just working for the necessities and what I’d like to do with my life. It’s becoming more and more difficult each day and I’m ready to be done and give up the American dream! This video came at exactly the right time for me as I’m now thinking about just breaking the lease for my freedom. Thank you Tim for being so open here! For the first time, I don’t feel crazy for pursuing the life I’d like to live although those around me don’t seem to understand where I’m coming from. I accept that they may or may not ever get it but regardless I need a new life so I can finally be happy and content with my life.
@@mitch5222 Oh honey, it hurts to hear someone feeling that bad... Please try to seek some help - a supportive group or friend, or counsellor... We ALL need love and we all hurt.... It is better to keep trying....
@@mitch5222 Pessimistic thinking like that doesn't get you anywhere and wastes a precious life. Instead of wishing you'd never been born and fearing old age, admire the beautiful opportunity that is life, and be at peace with the fact that it will all be over soon and you won't have to worry about it after that. Take advantage while you're here! As for being alone, everyone feels alone at some point. In that sense, you're not alone at all. Learn to accept your current condition, flaws and all, and you'll find that your sense of lack goes away, which conversely makes you enjoy life a whole lot more and allows you to see opportunities you were previously blind to. Best of luck to you.
Been doing a lot of soul searching at age 26. Your videos have definitely opened my eyes to other ways of living. Life in the U.S especially in the city can be incredibly materialistic everyone is just following others, but when you're living life to your own tune you'll find the right path.
So glad you made this video. I spent 34 years of my life in a cubicle on this treadmill and woke up at 54. Again was told by my parents you buy house constantly work etc. I wish I knew then what I know now. I have always felt alone in my perception of life. I do not voice it to many ppl. Aka they think you are crazy in the Western world if you don't work 50 hours a week which I did. I am glad the millennials are questioning this. Good job. Peace to everyone and I am glad I'm not alone❤
Thanks for the video BIG T. Lololol. LITERALLY, we are brothas from another mother. Same name. I’m a mental health survivor, and everyone the last 20 years called me crazy, while I am not. I’ll touch base with you everyday. You gots to know who I am by now. It’s a race to see who can get more subscribers on TH-cam Lolol. You the lead horse right now, but I’m gonna dust you within 3 years Lolol😂😂 -White Timothy Ward of Pittsburgh lol
Tim, I basically live alone out in the farm lands, lost my job, I have maybe two friends who I barely see, and have little to no connection with anyone. Every single person I have ever known has either disappeared, died, incarcerated, etc..( not an exaggeration.) I truly believe that connection and love heals anyone willing, especially those folks who have a mental health condition, suffering from addiction, or suffering from a traumatic event, etc and it's exactly what I need, but, how? I don't have transportation except for my feet and the unreliable transit system that comes this way each hour and a half. There's people out there that share this issue and there's folks who are like me but I'm terrified I will never find them and I will remain alone (remain in my current mental state) with no hope to connect although I hold a device in my hands now to connect me to anyone in the world. I enjoy my time alone, but damn, it would be nice to have connections to enjoy life and laugh and be... loved. There's two people who love me, I hear the words but don't feel any love at all anymore. I feel like I can trust you, Tim, enough to get this off my chest and I appreciate your message in your videos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Any advice from anyone would be great. Thank you and Be Well 💚 #bewell
I resonate so much with what you’re going through and hope one day you’re able to find the connection you’re looking for with someone. It’s very hard to find genuine love and connection in a society that seems to care more about monetary gain than about people.
Sorry to hear about this. I went through a very lonely time where I basically had to get out of town and immerse myself in a whole other city many miles away. I was lucky to have one family friend help out - I'm not sure I would have managed as well without that.
Sarah, i just read yr comment and it disturbs me as i am struggling as well and desperation is high. I hate to hear yr struggle as i want people to be fulfilled and my state of mind is not good. job and money is keeping us enslaved and i don't know a way out, but for sure, "it is not a sign of health to be well adjusted to a sick society" Big hug, Sarah i do care for you and pray for yr well being, i truly care
Hi Sarah D.! I can relate to a great part of what you said. It gave my heart a flash of ache. One difference between us is I think I would love living in the country on a farm! Or even in a shack or tiny house. I love nature so much, and being in it, or as close to it as I can possibly be. Even on my half acre plot I feel like I have a little chunk of country, which I love. I love growing my little plants and flowers and vegetables, having the birds and the bees. It's also created a conflict about my cats though (5), so I'm trying to design a good sized contained area for them, to protect the birds and lizards. That's one thing which can be both a blessing and a burden, pets, as they are a responsibility which can tie one down, as well as a comfort, companionship, etc. I want a dog again, but. I also hesitate as I know what a responsibility it is. I too am car-less, which I learned to appreciate in some ways as I learned how to adapt. But I anticipate being able to get one soon. I think I understand your feeling of being alone as in every one I have ever known I've either lost contact with, is dead or?. Who knows. Within the past 4 years my mom, brother, sister, and best friend from Jr. High - high school have all died. My dad passed in 1983. I have had numerous friends over the years who I've fallen out of touch with. I was born in 1960, so I'm at "that age"... And I thought turning "40" was gonna be challenging. My daughter had graduated HS and moved out and I suddenly had a sort of mid life/"empty nest" crisis. Was not prepared for or expecting. So I then fell into a substance abuse-addiction problem for the past nearly 20 years. It's made for misadventures - enough to write a book. I worked for a good part of my adult life, was somewhat self employed over the last 10 or 15 years. Now consider myself "retired"! But then you assess your life and long for connection... I find the thought of the vagabond/hobo (I say that with greatest affection and respect) lifestyle fascinating and kind of romantic. But I also have a deep longing for that sense of home, the archetype of "home". I still have my daughter and my cousin, and I do have a boyfriend I live with. When you mentioned having two people in the world who love you, I felt that zinger in the heart. I'm not sure what the answer is, either. I guess the best I can say or do at this point, I've decided, is to try to intentionally be as kind to others, to everyone and everything, as I can. To try to give back here and there along the line, whenever and wherever I can. That's probably the best I'll be able to do with the time I've got left.... Take care and ❤️ to you. Cathy from Ca.
I left the hustle life 4 years ago and would never go back. I went from working 80 hours a week to now only casually working 4 months out of the year for a small festival. I went from managing 70 employees to now only 15. My old employers never understood me when I told them to give my employees a raise instead of me so I don't have to work so hard. I finally found one and now have a waiting list to be on my crew and never suffer employee shortages. I now live a simple debt-free life in paradise where I can do the things I never had time for. I am a happier, healthier, and kinder person now.
The only times I’ve felt lonely in my life were when I was around other people. I’m not psychic, but I think I’m sensitive to all that repressed stuff people are generally carrying around. Looks like you’re going to get a TH-cam Play Button soon. Great channel! Great job!
Thanks Tim! I guess I've been "crazy" all my 50+ life! Have always been the square plug in round hole environments, suspected I was wired differently, but never really gave myself permission to embrace me because of how I was raised to hush down my uniqueness. But recently, I found the beginning of my path to self discovery and its awesome - flaws and all. I can't wait to see the rest of this journey - with God's help - I know I'm going to to go it FULL CRAZY, ALONE OR NOT and will have a blast.....Yipeeee!!!
@@TimothyWard Thanks dear. Will definitely do that! The guidance and advice from your personal experiences that you share with us on your vlogs is so much on point and truly encouraging. Blessings and continue doing you.... with a blast as well!!🤩🤩
When I was 19 I left college for a semester and worked in a national park for a couple months. When I came back I got this vibe from other people that I was crazy for leaving. And I really bought into this narrative that leaving was this really "crazy" thing to do. ... Now, many years later, I think maybe I was crazy for coming back. All that was back here were everyone's expectations.
Dear Timothy this was truly an inspirational monologue. I consider myself a fringe of society because I do or say things that majority of my peers don't associate with.
Ok Tim its been a while since I have been able to click on a video and I can't believe this guy. Who is this man with this salt and peppered beard??🤔 looks good bro.😁. So glad I'm in your tribe and I'm not alone. 🥰
Thank you Tim I'm staring into a concrete wall every day at work got a promotion and i hate it the money doesn't fulfill me at all makes me more miserable. I'm going to get one more check and quit live my life the way I want, thank you Tim
I was thinking about this today, actually. I've been down in the dumps lately because I can't get anyone that I know to do anything. Everyone wants to hide at home with their families. I've decided that I am just going to go where I want and interact with people who are already doing what I want to do. It doesn't matter if I know them or not. I'm going to try it this weekend and see what happens.
Even more frustrating when physically disabled, relying on individuals who do nothing...an dont even want to do anything except shop, eat, sleep & moan they're broke! Escaping to the woods or anywhere alone isnt an option! It's a dream that can never be fulfilled....Anyone who can, should just do whatever they feel drawn to, alone or not, life is for living not just existing. Timothy Shipley GO FOR IT!! Great video 🤘🏻 🏇🚣♀️🚵🏽♀️🤸🏼♀️💃🏻🏃🏻♂️
My fam calls me crazy 😛 I know am not. I just don’t get into drama. They always say. Listen Listen Listen. Nah…. I just say. Good Good Good I just feel better being away from drama. I surf 🏄♂️. If you ever caught a wave 🌊 You would feel free. Sometimes while paddling out. I save a life. It’s a natural thing. 💪🏽🤙👍✌️
I was in a class in elementary school and the kids were teasing a kid and laughing. I remember thinking there was something wrong with these kids. I had the exact thought maybe I'm the only real person. I never heard any one else say they had that realization as a kid. Thank you for this video.
Am 27, child free,a biker, atheist and a minimalist from a very conservative African society. My family thinks am crazy because of my orientation to life but this life style saved from a severe depression years ago until I realised what I needed to do with my life. My dreams are to travel around the world on my motorcycle not to save up for someone's university fees. Am semi retired at the moment and will fully retire at 40 years and ride around the world. I couldn't retire at 65 when I can't even climb a motorcycle. But thanks for reminding me that am not crazy.
You re so right about waiting till your 60's to retire when you might not be able to enjoy it. Glad to see you are already heading towards a much better plan!
The only thing thata crazy is you don't believe in our Creator . I pray that you would really research and seek the lord God almighty (Jehovah) We didn't make ourselves or the universe and everything in it.

I work in sales/customer service, and I was speaking to a customer just yesterday about why we travel alone. When you try to include family or friends they’re either not interested or afraid. So, we exchanged numbers and plan on traveling together both in the States and abroad!
I became homeless a few years ago and discovered it was a way to not play the game everyone else plays. I rarely ever have money. I have no car. Only bicycles. And I've never been more fulfilled,...an inner contentment unobtained while having a "normal" life.
It’s been hard not feeling like I’m the problem for seeing through the system at a young age but being surround by people who have tried convincing me otherwise that their ways of living is the only way, when I innately knew deep down that it wasn’t meant for me. I’m thankful to know there’s others who think the same for it makes me feel less insane. Appreciate your videos Tim!♡
I was born to parents who loved to travel. I can feel at home almost anywhere. But alas, I don't have the money to travel so for over a decade I've been homeless much of the time. The only thing I've never found is true community. Here I have a sense of belonging. My heart is warm and I feel welcomed.
I ran that trail you were walking on by Estes Lake on my wedding morning. I am now alone and crazy but to myself it all seems to make sense. Good hearing from Timothy.
I can so relate to this. I remember as a child that things just didn't feel real. I couldn't explain it but just felt it was like everyone was actors just playing a role.
Well said Tim. I’m fortunate enough that my wife (married at 18) and kids (5 and 7) and going to buy a small property this summer and will start our road towards homesteading/self reliance. We look forward to the memories we’ll build together. Since I’ve left my work, a lot of anxiety has popped up over not being accepted as a man without a typical job. I have a bachelors in Mech. Eng. and realized I did everything to fit in and make others happy. At the cost of my own happiness and time with my family. I spent more time at school and work than with my kids
I was always confused about this world. Then I realized that my existence as well as yours was us stepping in on situations and circumstances that already had a vibratory element to them before we came and those involved acted how they acted and treated people how they treated them because of things that happened long before we came into the picture. You are now left to put pieces of a puzzle together. People don’t present their true selves to you most of the time, they present what they want you to see and it’s only after time goes on you realize you’ve been deceived in many ways. That cooperation you applied to isn’t what it appears on the outside and that couple you hold in high regard have their issues they don’t talk about. People’s suicide attempts often stem from them being forced to give up the beautiful lies they’ve been told which is tough for the ego to let go. Let us live in clarity.
I needed to hear this in my 20's....I literally felt like I was crazy because I was young....had a "good" job that paid very well but I was miserable.....and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't be happy with what everyone else seemed to want....I eventually unplugged and found my path but it took time ...I hope this message reaches someone in that same place.....great video....your message is more than appreciated...
Thank you for sharing this, at the age of 54 I did Van Life for over a year. Being an AA female, my family thought I was crazy. Let me tell you it was the best year of my adult life. My mother had a stroke so I moved back to assist, but I can't wait to got back out. I have always felt like there is just so much more out there, I hate working coming home same routine. I'm not crazy, I'm just finally getting others out of my head so I can live the life I want. You are awesome.
I have been saying this a lot lately, but thank God for the internet, because I am able to meet people I wouldn't normally be able to because the average person doesn't think like us, but with the internet I am able to meet those people
I considered going into IT to live the life I want, but then I noticed that all my friends that are in IT work their lives away. They work after work to keep up with the changes in the industry…In other fields everyone’s always miserable waiting for the weekend to get drunk and forget…Then when Monday roles around everyone’s miserable…. I never got it. Why does Monday have to be such a horrible day?? It doesn’t make sense…..Bottom line is from my observations and from pretty much quitting every job, I just realized that I have to go it solo…I just can’t live that miserable life that everyone’s promoting…
I like how you referenced the Matrix, because in my opinion that movie is a direct parallel to the way life is. We are all programmed as we grow up, to be part of the system to fuel the wealthy. To serve them, and not ourselves. Those of us who choose another path are often looked down upon as someone less than, because we have woken up to the fact that there is more to life than work. That old saying, time is money, I see that differently. Time is life, and once it's gone you can't get it back. No amount of money is worth my life, sorry. I've always felt this way, and no one around me has ever understood it and just think something is wrong with me. My parents worked every day of thier lives, and both passed not long after retiring. Never getting to do the things they wanted to, never getting to enjoy life. To me, there is nothing more tragic than a life unlived. We only get one life, enjoy it while you can.
Yes!!! This is the video I needed. I am planning to do long-term world travel with my kid, but I already know I am going to get so much criticism from certain loved ones in my life. It is an uphill battle, but we deserve to live fully and authentically. This is who we are. Like you said, if we're crazy, let's all be crazy together. I love the community you've created here.
I feel like I'm going crazy from everyone's opinions, expectations and requirements of me. I've been slowly shutting down everything in my life and everyone. The truth is that what I really want is silence. I don't want to hear a single man made noise or voice ever again. I don't want to see anything man made ever again. I don't want to hear one more lie. Freedom for me, is freedom from everything man made. I want to be a hermit far away from everyone and everything that is making me sick. I want the freedom to be me without outside comments and feelings from people that are destroying me.
This is exactly how I feel. Being 54 years old and feeling so lost and alone, I recently unexpectedly lost my 2 best friends, one was my very much loved dog of 15 years. I’m struggling because everyone else has abandoned me because I’m so sad. Thank you for this video.
I’m so sorry for your losses. Yeah, grief makes people uncomfortable, so be maybe check out a grief support group. It DOES help to talk to people. I’m pulling for ya, Nancy! ❤️
Two quotes that speak to your point here, and bolstered my choice to go nomad: "No one on their deathbed ever said 'I wish I'd spent more time at the office'." "You never regret the chances you take... Only the ones that you miss."
" You can't wait until life is not hard anymore, before you decide to be happy " Love this quote " Now I decided to be happy no matter what anyone says .
I get it!!! 100% I have been Locked in the System. For the first time in my 52years, I figured it out. Crazy world. I am " In" the World , but not "Of" it. So No one can Control my thoughts or Feelings. I make My life Happy, no matter what!
Tim, i think you have a lot to offer….way more than just a TH-cam channel. You are very insightful. I appreciate your videos and the message you are conveying.
Many people who tell you that you are strange or crazy are actually jealous of you, your freedom and your nonconformism
Most of my adventures have been solo because I can't find anyone willing to live a little. I stopped looking decades ago. You're correct; many people live their lives based on other people's expectations. I call it the friends and family plan. In my experience, those are the folks that will hold you back more than your worst enemy...if you let them. Even though they feel they are looking out for your best interests. You're better off reading books authored by explorers, adventurers, and trusting your instinct.
Paul Theroux - do you like his works?
@@rubyparchment5523 As crazy as it sounds, my favorite book that opened my eyes to the benefit of reading about adventure was the bio of Teddy Roosevelt. He was the president that started the process of creating the national park system, formally established by President Wilson.
Also, his book introduced me to John Muir, who by any measure, is the father of the conservation movement in America His quotes alone make me want to get hit the road and go someplace every time I read them.
My favorite is: "I only went out for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in." This is how I think today I'm not going out, I'm going in; and I love the feeling every time I do.
Fact
I like how you think
True!
We all awaken at a different ages. I'm 64 years old and I was married for 37 years. My wife passed in April of this year. The day after she died I went and bought a Travel Trailer, the next day I went and bought a new SUV to tow it. I quit my job and started cleaning out the house. I had already decided during the past 12 years of being a caregiver to my wife what was going to happen when that day came. My new purpose is to live a minimalist lifestyle and travel with my best friend Patrick, my 100lb retriever. I remember the feelings of wonderment and curiosity about the world and life that I had as a child and I want to revive those feelings once more before my time to depart this world arrives. My family thinks I'm crazy and my friends all say they envy me and that they too would like to do the same thing. So who knows maybe we all will meet at some time and someplace. We are not alone.
Hope you're well
@@jasonodell79er doing well in St.George UT. Thanks
Awesome. Dont let people have a say in how you greive, or how you live your life after your wifes death. I've been a caretaker...it takes alot out of you...and you need to refind yourself. The path you've choose is courageous, happy trails.
Always remember, don’t follow the crowd unless they’re going your way!
Hello. I ended up in an asylum when I was 15 years old. I was diagnosed with chronic depression. I was locked up for 4 months. My problem was that my mind got stuck on sadness. My mother hit me a lot, and she drank a lot. I was stuck in a state of mind of pure sadness since I was 5 years old. Lost my childhood from that moment on. I had to find my way out. I couldn't get out until 1996. This is when I started to live life the way I wanted. Had my own place, and felt better. I stopped listening to people.
I'm glad that you made it out of that sadness. I'm sorry for your experience as a child 😔
Glad you found a way to survive and finally thrive Norma! Thanks for sharing your story!
I quit my job in January. I love my life. I know people with wonderful jobs and horrible debt. I like not having to take orders.
I have felt this way every since I was a child. The world seemed so ass backwards to me. When I got closer to adulthood it became more and more apparent to me that what the world/society deemed normal was not gonna work for me. Fast forward to the present, I am more confident and at peace now because I was able to create my own space where I can do what I want, when I want, with anyone I want, as much as I want.
Sounds like the dream life!
Because the world is ass backwards lol especially america
Yip... sounds like Osho.
I experienced the same thing. I just haven’t gotten up the nerve to leave the matrix.

I became severely depressed in my first job after graduating because it didn't make sense that we all had to work 35+ hours a week for the 40 years in jobs we hate just to have housing, food, warmth, clothes. There's no reason any of that should cost that much, it does so to make those at the top massive profits. I didn't understand how people could work on those jobs and not want to die. I figured that they just accept it as normal and necessary rather than questioning it, and that's where the problem is. Is most people questionned it it wouldn't continue.
You be preachin'! Yes, I have been feeling "crazy" and "alone " for years. The people I know would never believe the life I really want for myself.

Hi Tim! I’ve been in a horrible job for three years now with no career path whatsoever. i’ve got bad anxiety and depression and I always thought there was no way I could quit the job that I was in regardless of what it was. Recently, it dawned on me that I have to take my mental health into account more so than a job that’s not even that great that everybody else expects me to be happy with. I really love how you said that you “can’t speak for yourself 30 years from now, but this is what we’re doing now.” That inspired me to quit my crappy job and live a little bit while I still have the chance. Thank you for your down to earth perspective!
Glad to hear you are leaving that horrible job behind! Good luck 👍🏾
You're speaking the truth man. I always knew i don't want the "normal" life a.k.a get a "good" job, get married, buy a house in the suburbs, have kids and what not. Nothing wrong with that if it's really what you want, but something tells me a lot of people do all that not because they really want it but because they think it's the only way. Or at least the only "respectable" way or smth like that. It may work just fine for a lot of people but it doesn't work for everyone. Idk but slaving away at some job for like 45-50 years just to barely be able to pay a bunch of loans for things i don't really need just don't seem like a good life from my perspective. They tell you that you need to have this and this and this in order to be happy but it's really just "the market" talking. What's the point of having a fancy house and a bmw and 2 kids and yada yada if you have to work like crazy to afford all that? Absolutely nothing, not for you unless it's your idea of a good life of course. But it makes your company happy, and the car dealer, and the bank, and the minister of finance in whatever country you live in. But their happiness ain't necessarily your happiness. Sure, simple living, minimalism and all those things ain't for everyone either but it's nothing crazy about not wanting the mainstream. The crazy thing is this idea that everyone should fit in the same mold and if you don't it's smth wrong with you. As long as you don't hurt anyone, follow your own dreams and wishes, don't live just to look good in other peoples eyes. Sorry for the novel, peace.
I appreciated the novel bro well written 10/10
@@Strangepete Thank you
Well written and I totally agree with you on everything I was just speaking of all this yesterday and its devastating the people you will lose on the way because of the way society has set up for us to be carbon copies of one another and if we don't comply we're ridiculed and outcasted....oh well may we all truly live freely 🥂
Right on. The so called "Anerican Dream" is the consumer, the follower, monkey see monkey do, jump in a river and everyone will jump in too. Not everyone realizes or sees it in life. We are awake because life gave us a better chance, better opportunity, and a specific reason and purpose within us ready to be released. A better person, a better life, and a better environment where we can be happy. It's up to each one of us to find that moment.
Don't apologize for the novel. You're spittin.
I constantly hear that I'm crazy for wanting to live in a van..or camper...for saying I don't want to work any more. Everyone around me has ideal jobs and lives so I'm definitely odd man out. I hear I'm not going to like it. I can you this I don't like the life I'm living now. Constantly working a job I hate to pay rent....bottom line.
I live in my truck camper for 7 months now. I love it. I still work as usual. I'm thinking of how I can make money without the 6 am to 3;30 pm job, every other Friday off. My total bills are cellphone, truck insurance, gasoline and food. I'm thinking that this will really be fun if I start traveling at least part of the year.
@@scottnorris5683 Hi. This is exactly the set up I had in mind as I get ready to go thru eviction this week. Of course I'll have go through finding both pieces under precarious situations but its ironically the set up i want. Also don't want the day job while I'm in it. Have racked my brain how to get around this or find something that will work with the life style
@@christinamerritt9669 Hi Christina. I love my setup but I will mention one thing. In my truck camper it does appear I'm living in it to the police in San Diego. They are really going after people living in campers, parking at the beaches or other places. They put no parking signs from 2 to 4 am throughout the entire city so I have to move during that time and stealth for 2 hours. I have spent quite a few of the 7 months staying at my work when everybody left so I didn't have to move. I also recently found a spot that the cops aren't making people move. A nice camper van is much more stealthly for parking anywhere you can, side of road, several different 24 hour businesses etc. I don't know if other cities are like San Diego. Probably not. I have also stayed at campgrounds here that don't cost that much. I like Tim's ideas about making money and traveling. Living in my camper is definitely worth it to me. No question about it. The 6 parking tickets I've received in 7 months amount to less than $100 a month and like I mentioned, my total monthly bills now are very low. I would say, do it, if you figure out a good setup for you! 😀
Vanlife is great! 🌟
I realized this during college. Nearly everybody was partying, drinking, doing drugs, buying lots of useless expensive shit. I had the urge to fit in but never did fit in. I gave up trying to fit in when I was 19 and just carved my own path in life. In my first job, people always encouraged me to fit in, especially one boss who told me that drinking was a necessary social thing. I'm allergic to alcohol, its not my loss. I don't want to be surrounded by people who are as shallow as that. I've always felt alone and crazy, but I realized that fitting in is not the best thing in the world. Today, I just be who I am, stand up for it and never impose it on anybody but myself. Whatever floats your boat. Thanks for this video, man! I love your ideas.
You are not crazy. You are simply going through a spiritual awakening.
I am 25 and after high school I decided to travel. I worked odd jobs and travelled around. I felt truly alive. Now I am graduating from Uni after working in consulting and a tech start up. I’m not cut out for this. Sitting in an office 9-5 (at best), handing my time over to other people. I don’t care about any of this. Glad I found your channel
I have been feeling crazy. This video helped me a lot. Thank you so so much.
Great stuff. I got saved 60 years ago when I was 6 years old, I have been a stranger in a strange land. This world is not my home. We are being lied to on a massive scale.
It is our home, but when it is at the 5D level (where it is heading back now).
@@truthseeker3536 Right 5D or maybe like DEFCON 6?
Thats lame
Yes absolutely and about everything. Being apart gives you more freedom. The key is to control your time because we are never going to become rich. Take care.
As a child, the woods really sustained me. I've not forgotten and am making my way back. Blessings, brother.
Slightly envious of those who have reasonably close access to mountains (nobody's holding me hostage, making me live in the city though). They really are therapeutic. That's a gorgeous location.
I lived in the mountains for years and they're sweet, but later in life I've found that a barren plain or desert under clear skies at night, or a dense forest canopy all have their own trip. That covers almost any geographical area. Enjoy!
Play youtube videos recorded in the wilderness as a form of meditation, if you are in the city and want to experience some of it.
I've been different all of my life. And there was a time I thought I was crazy or strange because I didn't fit in. Years ago, I didn't have the internet explaining what introverts or what extroverts or other personality types are. But with that and studying astrology, it helped me to understand myself and my relationships with people. Now I embrace the fact that I'm different and it's okay to be that way. I take being called "crazy" as a compliment because it means I'm not like everyone else. Some of the greatest minds, even prophets were deemed as crazy.
Exactly! They call you crazy while you are alive, but once you die you are a 'visionary' lol
Have you ever thought that everyone having a mailbox is strange? Even more strange is you are required to have one and wade through and sort it daily. Who made this up for us? What if I don't want to do it?
I hear you when I was living in Seattle I had a box at my apartment when I moved out of there I never forwarded my address just left and get this my new place has a mailbox on the road and as if by magic mail started to arrive there addressed to me.
why is having a Mailbox strange?
Why is there a need for one anymore when everything is digital?
I love this comment so much!
never knew this was such a big thing? 😃
I've been riding solo for so long lol especially since covid started! My view points were completely different then my friends and family about all that stuff and they took a very different path then I did. Def sometimes has felt so isolating. Yes the fact we have to work to make money to go home and do it again is crazy. We are traveler beings we love to travel and meet new souls it's how we are built bro we got hot feet.
My feet are kinda cold 🤔
This video really hit me. I have suppressed these feeling for a long time. I'm not like many other people but for years I've pretended to be like them. I've been grinding away working for over 45 years. I traveled to Thailand this spring because one of my friends moved there. I think he felt much the same way I feel. There's gotta be more to life than work. This video has given me more incentive to live my dreams and not pretend to be this robot. I will quit my job this year and live the freedom lifestyle I've been craving my whole life. My buddy is happy living his life modestly, and last week, married his girlfriend there. I promised him I would be back to find myself there and live the way I should have years ago. Yes I'm walking away from a lot of money (job) but it would be a sin not to live my dreams. Life is short. The clock is ticking people live your dreams now.
Good luck with your plans for the future Charles!
I've been feeling extremely dissatisfied and dissolution with modernity lately. Ever since I got sober I have realized how many years I spent drinking just to mask and hide this dissatisfaction. I spent months after my last drink focusing on just staying sober as a way to distract myself from the ever clawing dissolution. I realize I have spent an entire adulthood chasing my perception other people's expectations. I bought the lie of conspicuous consumerism hook, line, and sinker. I am feeling the overwhelming sense of disappointment in my life as I realize more every day how much of it I have not lived for myself. I have no idea how to be happy, I have no idea what my interests are, and I have no idea what goals I should pursue.
I am still struggling, but I am glad I am sober. I don't have any debt anymore, I was able to pay it off this year. I should be grateful. I have a new job that is going well, and I'm making more money than I ever have in my life. I am still alone, and rely on my relationship with my parent's for a great deal of meaning in my life. I am very lonely.
I am trying to accept the reality of my situation without becoming nihilistic. I struggle with self-pity and self-hate. I "should be farther along" and "should have a girlfriend by now" or at least "own a house by now." I struggle with feeling very behind. I feel crazy, and I do feel alone.
Maybe I'm not. Maybe there's somebody out there that can, and will, relate to me. Maybe someone out there that could love me one day. I just know I need to find meaning in my life. Material possessions, wealth, and status are all fickle goals. Fleeting and capriciously Pavlovian.
I don't know, maybe tomorrow will be better.
The “shoulds”will make you unhappy. When I let go of them, freedom of thought began. A good therapist might help you with a framework to move forward. Good luck & truly, you can do it. 😍

Stay strong and stay sober. We have to hang on better days are ahead, be open to accept these blessings when the arrive.
I’m 100 percent in the same boat man. Identical situation. Word for word. You are not alone.
Ohhh. Another zap in the heart. (Sigh). I can understand your feelings, too, been there... (Please see my above message to Sarah D). I understand the scourge of addiction. And also the loneliness of the hope and search for a partner to love. I think I hoped TOO much for one, as I think I saw that as my final solution, end goal in life, my very purpose, etc. It almost seems like a common cultural mythology we have, that our pot of gold at the end of the rainbow will be that one true love which will make everything OK, validate our lives, give us happiness... I don't mean to disparage the idea - it's just that I have sought that validation in one face after the other over the years, and never really found it. But I did finally find someone who I can truly love, in a quiet, humble way. After gradually coming to see how effed up I am, and can be, I've realized that I'd be better off BECOMING that idealized person (but in realistic form) rather than searching for someone to project my dreams and expectations upon who doesn't exist... It's quite enough of an effort, I think, to achieve real self-respect - and to feel that I am truly worthy of it, have earned it, and deserve it. THAT is something no one can ever take from me. And I still continue striving to earn it with each day. And to be as kind to others as I can. You'll get there 😉.
100k coming . We all think we are alone but we are never alone 🌻keep going Tim.
I am in this space as well! Right now, I feel trapped paying rent every month for a place I don’t even want to be anymore. I feel like Im just wasting money at this place and wasting time at my job that I have become resentful about coming in everyday but trying to stick it out until my lease is up so I can travel full time through the trucking industry and live a life more aligned with my ideas and am considering if that doesn’t work out just working for the necessities and what I’d like to do with my life. It’s becoming more and more difficult each day and I’m ready to be done and give up the American dream! This video came at exactly the right time for me as I’m now thinking about just breaking the lease for my freedom. Thank you Tim for being so open here! For the first time, I don’t feel crazy for pursuing the life I’d like to live although those around me don’t seem to understand where I’m coming from. I accept that they may or may not ever get it but regardless I need a new life so I can finally be happy and content with my life.
At the end of the day, it's your life you gotta live with so you might as well enjoy it.
Totally agree 💯
I dont know how to enjoy it. Alone for the rest of my life. Scared of getting old. Wish i never been born.
@@mitch5222 Oh honey, it hurts to hear someone feeling that bad... Please try to seek some help - a supportive group or friend, or counsellor... We ALL need love and we all hurt.... It is better to keep trying....
@@mitch5222 Pessimistic thinking like that doesn't get you anywhere and wastes a precious life. Instead of wishing you'd never been born and fearing old age, admire the beautiful opportunity that is life, and be at peace with the fact that it will all be over soon and you won't have to worry about it after that. Take advantage while you're here! As for being alone, everyone feels alone at some point. In that sense, you're not alone at all. Learn to accept your current condition, flaws and all, and you'll find that your sense of lack goes away, which conversely makes you enjoy life a whole lot more and allows you to see opportunities you were previously blind to. Best of luck to you.
Been doing a lot of soul searching at age 26. Your videos have definitely opened my eyes to other ways of living. Life in the U.S especially in the city can be incredibly materialistic everyone is just following others, but when you're living life to your own tune you'll find the right path.
At first I read your sentence as: "everyone is just following orders" kinda the same I guess. 😅
So glad you made this video. I spent 34 years of my life in a cubicle on this treadmill and woke up at 54. Again was told by my parents you buy house constantly work etc. I wish I knew then what I know now. I have always felt alone in my perception of life. I do not voice it to many ppl. Aka they think you are crazy in the Western world if you don't work 50 hours a week which I did. I am glad the millennials are questioning this. Good job. Peace to everyone and I am glad I'm not alone❤
You're definitely not alone Sara!
Thanks for the video BIG T. Lololol. LITERALLY, we are brothas from another mother. Same name. I’m a mental health survivor, and everyone the last 20 years called me crazy, while I am not.
I’ll touch base with you everyday.
You gots to know who I am by now.
It’s a race to see who can get more subscribers on TH-cam Lolol.
You the lead horse right now, but I’m gonna dust you within 3 years Lolol😂😂
-White Timothy Ward of Pittsburgh lol
Tim, I basically live alone out in the farm lands, lost my job, I have maybe two friends who I barely see, and have little to no connection with anyone. Every single person I have ever known has either disappeared, died, incarcerated, etc..( not an exaggeration.) I truly believe that connection and love heals anyone willing, especially those folks who have a mental health condition, suffering from addiction, or suffering from a traumatic event, etc and it's exactly what I need, but, how? I don't have transportation except for my feet and the unreliable transit system that comes this way each hour and a half. There's people out there that share this issue and there's folks who are like me but I'm terrified I will never find them and I will remain alone (remain in my current mental state) with no hope to connect although I hold a device in my hands now to connect me to anyone in the world. I enjoy my time alone, but damn, it would be nice to have connections to enjoy life and laugh and be... loved. There's two people who love me, I hear the words but don't feel any love at all anymore. I feel like I can trust you, Tim, enough to get this off my chest and I appreciate your message in your videos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Any advice from anyone would be great. Thank you and Be Well 💚 #bewell
What farm lands are you living in now? Sounds like you’re in the middle or Europe
I resonate so much with what you’re going through and hope one day you’re able to find the connection you’re looking for with someone. It’s very hard to find genuine love and connection in a society that seems to care more about monetary gain than about people.
Sorry to hear about this. I went through a very lonely time where I basically had to get out of town and immerse myself in a whole other city many miles away. I was lucky to have one family friend help out - I'm not sure I would have managed as well without that.
Sarah, i just read yr comment and it disturbs me as i am struggling as well and desperation is high. I hate to hear yr struggle as i want people to be fulfilled and my state of mind is not good. job and money is keeping us enslaved and i don't know a way out, but for sure, "it is not a sign of health to be well adjusted to a sick society" Big hug, Sarah i do care for you and pray for yr well being, i truly care
Hi Sarah D.! I can relate to a great part of what you said. It gave my heart a flash of ache. One difference between us is I think I would love living in the country on a farm! Or even in a shack or tiny house. I love nature so much, and being in it, or as close to it as I can possibly be. Even on my half acre plot I feel like I have a little chunk of country, which I love. I love growing my little plants and flowers and vegetables, having the birds and the bees. It's also created a conflict about my cats though (5), so I'm trying to design a good sized contained area for them, to protect the birds and lizards. That's one thing which can be both a blessing and a burden, pets, as they are a responsibility which can tie one down, as well as a comfort, companionship, etc. I want a dog again, but. I also hesitate as I know what a responsibility it is. I too am car-less, which I learned to appreciate in some ways as I learned how to adapt. But I anticipate being able to get one soon. I think I understand your feeling of being alone as in every one I have ever known I've either lost contact with, is dead or?. Who knows. Within the past 4 years my mom, brother, sister, and best friend from Jr. High - high school have all died. My dad passed in 1983. I have had numerous friends over the years who I've fallen out of touch with. I was born in 1960, so I'm at "that age"... And I thought turning "40" was gonna be challenging. My daughter had graduated HS and moved out and I suddenly had a sort of mid life/"empty nest" crisis. Was not prepared for or expecting. So I then fell into a substance abuse-addiction problem for the past nearly 20 years. It's made for misadventures - enough to write a book. I worked for a good part of my adult life, was somewhat self employed over the last 10 or 15 years. Now consider myself "retired"! But then you assess your life and long for connection... I find the thought of the vagabond/hobo (I say that with greatest affection and respect) lifestyle fascinating and kind of romantic. But I also have a deep longing for that sense of home, the archetype of "home". I still have my daughter and my cousin, and I do have a boyfriend I live with. When you mentioned having two people in the world who love you, I felt that zinger in the heart. I'm not sure what the answer is, either. I guess the best I can say or do at this point, I've decided, is to try to intentionally be as kind to others, to everyone and everything, as I can. To try to give back here and there along the line, whenever and wherever I can. That's probably the best I'll be able to do with the time I've got left.... Take care and ❤️ to you. Cathy from Ca.
I left the hustle life 4 years ago and would never go back. I went from working 80 hours a week to now only casually working 4 months out of the year for a small festival. I went from managing 70 employees to now only 15. My old employers never understood me when I told them to give my employees a raise instead of me so I don't have to work so hard. I finally found one and now have a waiting list to be on my crew and never suffer employee shortages. I now live a simple debt-free life in paradise where I can do the things I never had time for. I am a happier, healthier, and kinder person now.
The only times I’ve felt lonely in my life were when I was around other people. I’m not psychic, but I think I’m sensitive to all that repressed stuff people are generally carrying around. Looks like you’re going to get a TH-cam Play Button soon. Great channel! Great job!
“We’re all crazy and we’re gonna be crazy together”. So true, I look forward to that.
Thanks Tim! I guess I've been "crazy" all my 50+ life! Have always been the square plug in round hole environments, suspected I was wired differently, but never really gave myself permission to embrace me because of how I was raised to hush down my uniqueness. But recently, I found the beginning of my path to self discovery and its awesome - flaws and all. I can't wait to see the rest of this journey - with God's help - I know I'm going to to go it FULL CRAZY, ALONE OR NOT and will have a blast.....Yipeeee!!!
Have a blast Sasha!
@@TimothyWard Thanks dear. Will definitely do that! The guidance and advice from your personal experiences that you share with us on your vlogs is so much on point and truly encouraging. Blessings and continue doing you.... with a blast as well!!🤩🤩
Thank you bro ✊🏾
lol I'm so glad I'm not crazy. Being alone sometimes is really peaceful. But friendships /family is such an added bonus 🍀
i love you, i hug you, we all want love , compassion and care and tenderness
When I was 19 I left college for a semester and worked in a national park for a couple months. When I came back I got this vibe from other people that I was crazy for leaving. And I really bought into this narrative that leaving was this really "crazy" thing to do. ... Now, many years later, I think maybe I was crazy for coming back. All that was back here were everyone's expectations.
1000 watts of positivity !! ......tim ward................................................keep it on .... from the UK.....
Dear Timothy this was truly an inspirational monologue. I consider myself a fringe of society because I do or say things that majority of my peers don't associate with.
What a peaceful place to be!
Thanks for the hug! Love you my beautiful brother!
Ok Tim its been a while since I have been able to click on a video and I can't believe this guy. Who is this man with this salt and peppered beard??🤔 looks good bro.😁. So glad I'm in your tribe and I'm not alone. 🥰
Thank you Tim I'm staring into a concrete wall every day at work got a promotion and i hate it the money doesn't fulfill me at all makes me more miserable. I'm going to get one more check and quit live my life the way I want, thank you Tim
yes when i was making a lot of money i was miserable, cause i had no life. i was actually the happiest when i was broke.
@@baldeagle4710 exactly
I was thinking about this today, actually. I've been down in the dumps lately because I can't get anyone that I know to do anything. Everyone wants to hide at home with their families. I've decided that I am just going to go where I want and interact with people who are already doing what I want to do. It doesn't matter if I know them or not. I'm going to try it this weekend and see what happens.
good luck, you are wonderfull beautifull creature
Even more frustrating when physically disabled, relying on individuals who do nothing...an dont even want to do anything except shop, eat, sleep & moan they're broke! Escaping to the woods or anywhere alone isnt an option! It's a dream that can never be fulfilled....Anyone who can, should just do whatever they feel drawn to, alone or not, life is for living not just existing. Timothy Shipley GO FOR IT!! Great video 🤘🏻

@@3SeveredHeads Thank you for your kind words. I'm sorry that you're physically disabled.
How did it go?? 💖
My fam calls me crazy 😛
I know am not.
I just don’t get into drama.
They always say. Listen Listen Listen.
Nah…. I just say. Good Good Good
I just feel better being away from drama.
I surf 🏄♂️.
If you ever caught a wave 🌊
You would feel free.
Sometimes while paddling out. I save a life.
It’s a natural thing. 💪🏽🤙👍✌️
I was in a class in elementary school and the kids were teasing a kid and laughing. I remember thinking there was something wrong with these kids. I had the exact thought maybe I'm the only real person. I never heard any one else say they had that realization as a kid. Thank you for this video.
To be honest i've never considered myself crazy to think and act the way i am. Being a free soul it feels more like the world is crazy...
Thanks! Keep up the movement bro!
Tack!
Thank you so much for the love and support!!! I really appreciate it!
Am 27, child free,a biker, atheist and a minimalist from a very conservative African society. My family thinks am crazy because of my orientation to life but this life style saved from a severe depression years ago until I realised what I needed to do with my life. My dreams are to travel around the world on my motorcycle not to save up for someone's university fees. Am semi retired at the moment and will fully retire at 40 years and ride around the world. I couldn't retire at 65 when I can't even climb a motorcycle. But thanks for reminding me that am not crazy.
You re so right about waiting till your 60's to retire when you might not be able to enjoy it. Glad to see you are already heading towards a much better plan!
With all do respect, use some of that additional time to be SURE you're certain about Atheism, just from a logical perspective.
The only thing thata crazy is you don't believe in our Creator .
I pray that you would really research and seek the lord God almighty (Jehovah)

Tell that homeless people...🤦
@@mirabella2154 I am houseless, not homeless
23 here and I no longer give a care about what people think
I work in sales/customer service, and I was speaking to a customer just yesterday about why we travel alone. When you try to include family or friends they’re either not interested or afraid. So, we exchanged numbers and plan on traveling together both in the States and abroad!
That's awesome!
May God bless you for this channel......this has been so freeing..... amazing
Thank you Karen!
I became homeless a few years ago and discovered it was a way to not play the game everyone else plays. I rarely ever have money. I have no car. Only bicycles. And I've never been more fulfilled,...an inner contentment unobtained while having a "normal" life.
Crazy together ❤️
It’s been hard not feeling like I’m the problem for seeing through the system at a young age but being surround by people who have tried convincing me otherwise that their ways of living is the only way, when I innately knew deep down that it wasn’t meant for me. I’m thankful to know there’s others who think the same for it makes me feel less insane. Appreciate your videos Tim!♡
I was born to parents who loved to travel. I can feel at home almost anywhere. But alas, I don't have the money to travel so for over a decade I've been homeless much of the time. The only thing I've never found is true community. Here I have a sense of belonging. My heart is warm and I feel welcomed.
I ran that trail you were walking on by Estes Lake on my wedding morning. I am now alone and crazy but to myself it all seems to make sense. Good hearing from Timothy.
I can so relate to this. I remember as a child that things just didn't feel real. I couldn't explain it but just felt it was like everyone was actors just playing a role.
Well said Tim. I’m fortunate enough that my wife (married at 18) and kids (5 and 7) and going to buy a small property this summer and will start our road towards homesteading/self reliance. We look forward to the memories we’ll build together.
Since I’ve left my work, a lot of anxiety has popped up over not being accepted as a man without a typical job. I have a bachelors in Mech. Eng. and realized I did everything to fit in and make others happy. At the cost of my own happiness and time with my family. I spent more time at school and work than with my kids
So glad your realizing now then after your children are grown.💛👍
Tim uploaded a video! A great way to end the day
Life is great! Keep Shining bright Brotha, tank you for sharing! 🦋🦋🦋
THANK YOU FOR THIS... i am not alone and i am not crazy.... i have to get past the fact that I AM NOT ALONE AND I AM NOT CRAZY!
"it doesn't have to make sense"... GOLDEN WORDS!!!! from personal experience too.
This was spot on. Been feeling like this for years since I was a kid, never felt like I fit in with society (Sheep) .
I was always confused about this world. Then I realized that my existence as well as yours was us stepping in on situations and circumstances that already had a vibratory element to them before we came and those involved acted how they acted and treated people how they treated them because of things that happened long before we came into the picture. You are now left to put pieces of a puzzle together. People don’t present their true selves to you most of the time, they present what they want you to see and it’s only after time goes on you realize you’ve been deceived in many ways. That cooperation you applied to isn’t what it appears on the outside and that couple you hold in high regard have their issues they don’t talk about. People’s suicide attempts often stem from them being forced to give up the beautiful lies they’ve been told which is tough for the ego to let go. Let us live in clarity.
You are becoming more spiritual. And accepting you for who you are. Such a cool journey. 😊
I needed to hear this in my 20's....I literally felt like I was crazy because I was young....had a "good" job that paid very well but I was miserable.....and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't be happy with what everyone else seemed to want....I eventually unplugged and found my path but it took time ...I hope this message reaches someone in that same place.....great video....your message is more than appreciated...
I love comments like these cause they show a side of things that many people don’t see. 💯
Thank you for sharing this, at the age of 54 I did Van Life for over a year. Being an AA female, my family thought I was crazy. Let me tell you it was the best year of my adult life. My mother had a stroke so I moved back to assist, but I can't wait to got back out. I have always felt like there is just so much more out there, I hate working coming home same routine. I'm not crazy, I'm just finally getting others out of my head so I can live the life I want. You are awesome.
Props to you for taking care of your mother Lisa even though it meant deferring your dream for a bit. I know you will be back out on those roads soon!
@@TimothyWard ❤
I have been saying this a lot lately, but thank God for the internet, because I am able to meet people I wouldn't normally be able to because the average person doesn't think like us, but with the internet I am able to meet those people
I considered going into IT to live the life I want, but then I noticed that all my friends that are in IT work their lives away. They work after work to keep up with the changes in the industry…In other fields everyone’s always miserable waiting for the weekend to get drunk and forget…Then when Monday roles around everyone’s miserable…. I never got it. Why does Monday have to be such a horrible day?? It doesn’t make sense…..Bottom line is from my observations and from pretty much quitting every job, I just realized that I have to go it solo…I just can’t live that miserable life that everyone’s promoting…
I like how you referenced the Matrix, because in my opinion that movie is a direct parallel to the way life is. We are all programmed as we grow up, to be part of the system to fuel the wealthy. To serve them, and not ourselves. Those of us who choose another path are often looked down upon as someone less than, because we have woken up to the fact that there is more to life than work. That old saying, time is money, I see that differently. Time is life, and once it's gone you can't get it back. No amount of money is worth my life, sorry. I've always felt this way, and no one around me has ever understood it and just think something is wrong with me. My parents worked every day of thier lives, and both passed not long after retiring. Never getting to do the things they wanted to, never getting to enjoy life. To me, there is nothing more tragic than a life unlived. We only get one life, enjoy it while you can.
Yes!!! This is the video I needed. I am planning to do long-term world travel with my kid, but I already know I am going to get so much criticism from certain loved ones in my life. It is an uphill battle, but we deserve to live fully and authentically. This is who we are. Like you said, if we're crazy, let's all be crazy together. I love the community you've created here.
I feel like I'm going crazy from everyone's opinions, expectations and requirements of me. I've been slowly shutting down everything in my life and everyone.
The truth is that what I really want is silence. I don't want to hear a single man made noise or voice ever again. I don't want to see anything man made ever again. I don't want to hear one more lie. Freedom for me, is freedom from everything man made. I want to be a hermit far away from everyone and everything that is making me sick. I want the freedom to be me without outside comments and feelings from people that are destroying me.
this vid is right on time. bout to hop in my car and just go.... somewhere
Go for it!!!
happy seeing you live your best life out in nature, 100k comin soon. got a feeling this vid will pop off
This is exactly how I feel. Being 54 years old and feeling so lost and alone, I recently unexpectedly lost my 2 best friends, one was my very much loved dog of 15 years. I’m struggling because everyone else has abandoned me because I’m so sad. Thank you for this video.
I’m so sorry for your losses. Yeah, grief makes people uncomfortable, so be maybe check out a grief support group. It DOES help to talk to people. I’m pulling for ya, Nancy! ❤️
@@jenl3162 Thank you so much for your kind words. You have no idea how badly I needed that!! I’m gonna check it out.
I wanted to add that 15 years is a good long life for a dog. That’s a testament to how well you took care of him/her and how much love you gave. ❤️
Ever since I was a kid I thought I was crazy. I’m not even 30 yet and I’m trying to figure out what’s next. Thanks for the reassurance.
Your favorite place in the world…I can see why…I can just smell the wind, the pines, the peace and freedom…beautiful. Thank you Timothy.

The location you are in is beautiful. That is the life.
Thank you Tim...I live about 40 mins. Away from Estes Park . I love it there,it's so beautiful :)
That lake looks and sounds amazing…I’m glad I found you.
Thank you
the society minded people think they have to work more to make more to get more bigger, better or more it's crazy
How do we organize? How do we come together? How can we make a difference as a collective?
For the longest time I thought there was something wrong with me on a deep level. Thankfully I've accepted that society is sick and broken, not me.
Beautiful scenery!
Two quotes that speak to your point here, and bolstered my choice to go nomad:
"No one on their deathbed ever said 'I wish I'd spent more time at the office'."
"You never regret the chances you take... Only the ones that you miss."
" You can't wait until life is not hard anymore, before you decide to be happy " Love this quote " Now I decided to be happy no matter what anyone says .
Chilling in the Rockies is one of the best activities to do. Enjoy. 😎 BK
I enjoy being alone....my views on life is so different from society...the reasons I don't have friends
I get it!!! 100% I have been Locked in the System. For the first time in my 52years, I figured it out. Crazy world. I am " In" the World , but not "Of" it. So No one can Control my thoughts or Feelings. I make My life Happy, no matter what!
Found yr videos recently Tim. Quality. Be the person you're meant to be. Stand alone be strong and virtuous and brave. Peace Brother's
U have to take risks in life and not be afraid of failure
The response I get from speaking up is, “the world would fall apart if everyone lived that way. You have be responsible & act like an adult.”
My response that statement is always: "would the world falling apart be a bad thing?"
Tim, i think you have a lot to offer….way more than just a TH-cam channel. You are very insightful. I appreciate your videos and the message you are conveying.
