Tonight will be the last night I sleep in the Goose before making the move into a house again. To be honest, I've been a bit nervous about the whole thing. I know the house and location are great, and my roommates are going to be super fun to live with. But I can't help but have this question constantly lingering, "will this put an end to my dream of living on a boat?"
My goals and reasons for living in a van have changed and evolved over the last year and a half. From doing it until I find a job/place in San Francisco, to getting out of credit card debt, to landing my dream job as an art director, to one day saving enough money for a sailboat and moving to Hawaii. So another change in course shouldn't be much of a surprise I suppose. Only this time, it involves a much bigger change in lifestyle.
When I hit my one year mark, I wrote a blog listing my pros and cons of living in a van. Not a whole lot has changed on the list. Although, now the cons of living in a van carry a bit more weight than they used to. It's been over a year since I've slept in an actual bed, and I can't remember the last time I've been able to sleep through the night without being woken up by something. And I think that it's beginning to catch up to me both physically and mentally. Especially when work is concerned. It'd be nice to have that place of "sanctuary" where I can just go and unwind for a little while without feeling like I'm being a burden to anyone.
Anyways, maybe I'll spend my last night my the beach doing some personal reflection or something.
