I mean it’s like, think about this…
If you have a car, it’s just sitting in your driveway for most of its life with you not in it and nothing going on in it. And there’s nothing in it and it’s just sitting there.
That would be lonely. Your car, it’s so…
Nice, right? It’s got seats, and it has a roof and stuff. It has windows! There windows everywhere. Some people’s houses don’t even have as many windows as cars have.
You car is just like… there for you. But you’re probably not in it that much, and it’s just sitting there. Nobody in it, nothing going on.
I just realize, I wake up IN my car, and I start looking around and I just feel it. If I wasn’t in here, it’d be sitting somewhere being comfortable and welcoming. Being shelter. Being nice. And pretty. But there would be nobody there to enjoy it.
I’d be sitting in a fuckin’ house or another building, rotting away, slowly dying. While my car is just out here doing the same thing, only like, alone. I love waking up in my car. There’s so much natural light that’s constantly coming in.
And it’s nice. It’s like a little cocoon of rest and rejuvenation.
If you have a comfortable bed in it, it is absolutely a safehaven cocoon of solitude.
Cuz you’re alone in here, ain’t nobody else fitting in here with you, thank God.
Everybody should have this. Everybody should have the individual space and solitude.
We can come together with one another after we’re rested and we’re ready to come together.
But at the end of the day, everybody needs their space. So that they can be restored.
And that makes coming together so much better too.
I’ve never been a huge fan of the saying that “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” It kind of pisses me off a little bit, even though I’ve just said that everybody needs time apart.
I just feel like you can have the best of both worlds. You can have your individual living quarters made for one, and then you can come out and play with people and experience togetherness.
We can have both. You can have it all.
I wake up in my car and I’m so comfortable and so glad to be where I am, because I know that I’m amidst this insanely beautiful desert kind of landscape.
Tomorrow, I could be somewhere else if I wanted.
You can’t do that in a house.
Why do we have houses? We have houses so that we can be sheltered.
I don’t understand why your shelter needs to be all that many times bigger than your body is.
You’re just trying to shelter your body from the elements. Why would you need a big house for that when you could have a small vehicle that provides that shelter.
If you live somewhere in a house that has extreme weather that you have to protect yourself from or else you’re gonna die…
That’s not a problem with a mobile lifestyle because you can move around with the weather.
If you were hella determined about it, you could do that. It would be possible.
The United States has plenty of variation in that way. You could find somewhere it’s warm when it’s winter everywhere else, it’s doable.
Think about your car. Is your car lonely? If your car is lonely, you should probably live in it.
