After a whole month living off grid in a tiny cabin, I gotta be honest with myself. I need a change. One year went by since I started my remote self employed journey, it's really been a tremendous amount of worrying, and work. Despite a constant high level of stress, I was actually doing pretty okay.
Until I realised my savings weren’t enough for me to live anymore.
I could decide to live in the raw, with very little money. This idea's been running in my mind for a while, and I finally came to an agreement with my desires.
I'm not interested in making thousands of dollars. However, I do want to be able to build my dream life. To buy a house and a land of my own. To discover the world. To please the people I love.
My current financial situation is beyond stressful, but I refuse to get caught by my fear. I won't go and find a job I hate, just so I can afford to live.
I will do everything it takes to be financially... Free.

I am 33 years old, and finally paid off all my debt. Debt from over a decade of trying as hard as I could to be "normal" and be a part of this insatiable consumer world. I gave up last year. I finally got sober, I relocated, I downsized. I own nothing of value now. I am saving money to buy the least expensive house possible in the country and I will re-align my working life to better fit a life of societal rejection. I will no longer live the rat race. Over half my life spent trying to please others, making choices and decision to appease others. All vanity. I will not live like this anymore. 8 months sober, debt free, and saving for a better, more simple, life. I applaud your efforts. I will be watching.
Reading your story is inspiring me to a point you cannot even imagine. Thank you for being authentic. And thank you for your support, I'll be there. ♡
debt is an illusion
@@benjaminollis7621 Not sure I follow you. Debt is real. We don’t go to jail anymore for unpaid bills but if we owe the government they will jail you until they get their money. Bankruptcy is an option and sometimes you have to use it not because you can’t pay your bills anymore but because you can’t settle all accounts at once.
@@MrPatrickrawls It makes borrower slave to the lender
I dream of living the same life. That's great that you've been able to do it.
Perhaps this is the life humans were intended to live. A small, quiet, humble, hardworking yet peaceful life far from the complexities, and violence of our modern world.
Absolutely agreed! Exactly my thoughts. I really hope to escape this fast paced relentless life
that's just another way of saying you gave up. You'll never be positive when you only focus on the negative stuff.
@@hiufgterde I think you missed the point. This is not about giving up at all. It's about what's compatible with human spirit and nature and what's not
I'm beginning to think so. I like to live outside the city. I've been living in the same area for 9 yrs now and some how .tho my pay has more than doubled I can no longer afford to live in my area 😒. I don't want to live were I'm from it's not a good area nor can I move to far from work or family. It just a pain
The big problem seems to be the governments and financial elites control and exploitation. Things could be a lot simpler while still maintaining a lot of the comforts and conveniences of our modern world if the majority of people were not spending their whole life chasing a penny to make someone else a dollar while those who have the dollars are exploiting everything they can to get more. Essentially we need a more egalitarian naturalist society.
it's interesting that many people from different parts of the world have this same feeling of being trapped and miserable from modern life.
Yes. I too strive to have my own property/land and welcome a more natural way of life.
@@godsprophecy222Amen bro me too. I longed for this since i was a kid.
@@MyLordAndMyGodJesusChrist I pray you're able to make your dreams a reality! 🙏🏼
HMMMM
Me too, happy to see there are many others like me.
I appreciate your courage and strength to do this. We share similar personalities and I find it impossible to find souls like you in my world. The world would be so much better with more of you. Keep doing what you do. Peace and love to you.
Wow! Wow! TOM!
This. Your deep kindness. Oh it touches me so much.
I feel so much of what you say. I too, wish it would be easy to find those connections. But see, you keep you heart wide open to the world despite that void. And I admire you for doing so.
Please keep shining your light Tom. It made such a difference in my world today.
Sending you my sincere Love ♡
@@VerdantVanillethat void you are missing can only be filled by Jesus Christ, forget about religion and what you have heard or know, most people dont follow Jesus and they dont know him, you need to have a relationship with him.
He is the only one who can fill your void and give you everlasting joy inside your soul, seek him and you shall find him, call upon him and he will answer, read his word in the Bible.
Btw your lifestyle is nice, its peaceful and how people lived not long time ago.
Love from Denmark ♥️
That is so true only our Beloved Lord and Saviour can fill that void. He said worry ....Matthew 6: 25-34. To be InTouch with nature is what God requires of us, so doing we are able to see how good He really is to us. The just shall live by only faith, as we cast all our cares upon Him. 1st Peter 5:7. Learn how to depend only upon God and trust Him. He never fails!
@@MyLordAndMyGodJesusChristthis is so true JESUS IS THE ANSWER

I think I found your channel for a reason. I am broke, literally, having only $5 in my bank account, but I'm broke emotionally & spiritually too. I'm being forced out of my apartment and out of the state I've lived in for over 30 years due to the high cost of living. My sister, who lives in another state, has opened her home to me. I'm hopeful that the change is what I need,a fresh start.
Marsha, whatever the amount of despair you feel right now, I can tell you for sure: You will rise again. This new start is the key to take back control of your life. I'm sending you so much love and light onto your journey, I truly believe you are soon to experienced a more meaningful and peaceful life. Be patient and take great care of your kind soul. ♡
@@VerdantVanille Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. I'm deeply touched.
Sending healing and good wishes 💛 🙏
I just found you your adorable merci xxx
Sometimes, when a door closes, a window opens, I hope this is just the change you need, Marsha! Look for it, okay?
This is my goal. I want to live off grid, no sirens, nobody shooting each other, no traffic noise, just calm, peace. Me, my gf and my 2 daughters stayed out in the woods in a tent for almost 5 months, living off the land, and honestly, being out there and relying on only ourselves, I've never felt more at home. My kids were happy, they learned how to entertain themselves without a tv and Xbox or a phone. I can't wait to buy some land and do it permanently
@dorstaeinn you are lucky. I also want to live in mountains in a small cottage.. I believe one day I'll achieve this dream..
Don't be selfish. Your kids need more than a homestead farm.
@@Ngwaaaron They don’t need cellphones or tablets , that will kill their imagination.
@@Ngwaaaron how do you know? What do you know about his kids? - because if you don’t know his kids, what you said is absolute bo110cKs, unless you think kids are just kids, all the same and therefore they all need the same things and all need to be treated the same way
do it - sooner than later
You aren't missing anything. Your lifestyle is what people crave, in reality. The fast pace of New York, Paris and other cities is exhaustive and annoying. The simple life is healthy and wholesome.
I tried moving out west in the United States to try to see if I could living off the grid for a while. I did a lot of hiking and forestry and I realized just how difficult it can be to survive in environments that are not developed. I think what’s important is that you embrace the learning experiences you have when you’re young so you can appreciate the quality of life you have when you’re older. The modern world world is many things, but it isn’t all bad. I think the more I denied myself modern amenities the more I understood the concept of gratitude on a deeper level. To come home from 9 days in the wilderness and flick on a light switch and sleep in a bed was a blessing.
So inspiring Mike.
Off the grid doesn’t mean without amenities. Off the grid means without utility-supplied amenities. Electricity from batteries and on-site renewables. Heat from firewood. Water from a well and rainwater harvester. Sewage from a septic system or even a composting/incinerating toilet. And now, thanks to LEO constellations, quality internet from a satellite is feasible to be the only utility-supplied amenity and keep yourself fully connected.
None of these are impossible, and none of them are too much to ask for. My grandparents have been doing all of that, minus the electricity which is provided by the utility service, for decades. My family’s been the same way for 8 years now. We have well water on a very good vein, and it’s so purely filtered from all the crud I can’t drink City water anymore. We have septic that gets drained as needed just fine. We have a TV, we have entertainment and plenty of stuff to do.
These lifestyles are often even more enjoyable than typical “modern” life. Wake up, get ready, go to work, go home, do either nothing or errands for 6 hours from M-F, and then do stuff on the weekend. That’s it.
Off grid, you may do the same, but, if you’re savvy enough you can afford it just fine on a part time job and then maybe have a side income or a few. You have game nights with family regularly, you eat together at the table, you have engaging chores that you reap the rewards of and can hold in your hand.
I promise it’s better. I’m working on moving to a city, but solely for the economy opportunities. I just want to save a bunch of money to put a great down payment on a great piece of mountain acreage. But believe that I’ll always be a forest man, and I love that.
" I won't go and find a job I hate, just so I can afford to live." this is me right now! it's really, really hard to keep going. But hopefully both of us will find a way! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
You will find a way Anishka, I am sure ♡
Find a job that you like. You don't have to work at a job you hate. What a ridiculous statement
Good wishes! Are you from india ?

You’re living my dream. The 9-5 office job living paycheck to paycheck is misery. Coping with the exhaustion, stress, and burnout by watching mindless tv programs, scrolling through mindless content and eating junk food for stimulation is misery. Your life may be hard, but at least you’re free.
I was actually wondering, if she is really free. Do people who buy land have to pay taxes on it every year? Even if they have paid it off?
wow just wow these words are penetrating
Yes
I wish to be free also.
@@jhan3134
Every year
is "so" much better,than having to pay,monthly bills.
The problem is that we need a substantial amount of money
to be independent/and free from societial expectations.
This is an exceptionally honest video. Not in anyway selling dreams alike alot of those other youtubers, but showing the harsh reality of of trying to abandon a system you have been a part of all your life. As she says, its a work in progress. Its not just something you can jump into without a plan
Thank you. Deeply.
Your story is so inspiring. It looks like, from reading the comments, many of us are searching for a better way to live. I moved recently, further from the city and friends. I have felt so isolated and alone because my mother passed away last year and I lost my job
To be honest, I don't want to go back to working at a disappointing miserable job like before, with no meaning. I look, I tell friends I'm looking, but honestly, I don't want that anymore. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful life you have created for yourself! It can't be easy. I will keep following your journey. One thing I'm learning is that I am not alone. We are all connected, all of us here, who write and share. I feel that now, more than ever before❤️
I am you
You are me
All is well.
Thank you for your light sweet Susan ♥️
Now this is living, No sirens 24/7, no horns, no road raging people, no news, no conformity!! this is the life!! you are truly blessed, a lot of people are dreaming of just this!!and she runs off into the sunset, it's like a movie!! God Bless💜💯
You're right. You remind me to be grateful for living among such beautiful nature. As I am grateful to you, for your kind words. Take good care ♡
How To Live In Harmony With Nature And Reduce Pollution
1. Many Production Which We Do Not Need Actually For Human Beings Has To Be Stopped
We manufacture so many products and it is creating pollution. So if we minimise our products, pollution would be less.
We produce so many things which we do not need, like cold drinks, leather products, potato wafers, chips, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc.
Cold drinks, fruit juices, pickles, ice creams, etc. Should be cooked at home only.
If we stopped producing this things which are not required for humans, so much pollution could be reduced.
If we colour the clothes pollution occurs. So if we don't colour our clothes, the pollution resulting from colouring the clothes can be stopped. Let everything remain in white natural colour.
2. We Should Cook Foods In Its Natural Form
We can cook rice and wheat in our homes and eat it. Rice and Wheat is produced in farms. Then it is packed and transported to big warehouses, then wholesalers buy from them and supply to retail shops.
But if a manufacturing company makes bread from rice and wheat, then to make bread a manufacturing company has to be set up, machines and working staffs are needed. When a company is built many other things are also needed. Then at last a plastic pack is required to pack the breads.
So if we start cooking eatable things in its natural form then we do not need many companies like bread manufacturing company, tomato ketchup, noodles, fruit jam, pizza, burger, etc., the things required for the company and the plastic pack, paper box pack and glass bottles. If done like this, so many companies will not be required and hence less pollution for the world.
Also we could save our money like this. If you buy a packet of bread, it would cost you more money than if you cook wheat and rice in home.
Previously before industrial revolution, we didn't have technology, but our foods were rich with nutrients. Now we have technology, but technology is polluting our foods and our foods are not rich with nutrients, and because of that also we have health problems.
If this is done, then many jobs would be lost. For that many peoples should do farming and they should be given loans if they do not have enough money to start farming on their own.
Food, Medicines, Surgeries and Education's should be made free to the world till the world settles down with farming. After that food, medicines, surgeries and education's should be stopped free to the world.
Many people should study botany subject so that they have knowledge of plants and they should do farming.
Is their any another solution, that humans won't lose jobs and also pollution would decrease. Humans have to take this step certainly instead of going on polluting the earth, making wildlife extinct and also mass extinctions of humans in future.
3. Electricity Pollution
We create electricity from many types of sources like coal, water, etc., but it creates pollution. If electricity created from windmill and solar energy then no pollution occurs in the creation process. But still to manufacture windmill and solar machines pollution would occur.
As I previously said that if we shut down many manufacturing companies which are producing things which are not needed for humans, then the world would not require so much electricity. If less electricity required, then less pollution generated.
4. Could We Stop Drinking Cow's and Buffalo's Milk
Whatever vitamins and nutrients we get from milk, if we can get it from other eatable things, then we can stop drinking cow's and buffalo's milk. As milk has to be packed in glass bottles and plastic packs and then transported to places. All of this can be stopped.
For infants whose mother's have died or mother's who cannot breast feed their infants, only for them cow's and buffalo's milk should be given. We use milk in tea and coffee. Instead of milk we must use lime with tea and coffee or just plain tea and coffee. A lime should be cut into a few pieces and cooked with tea and coffee or something else can be used instead of lime.
5. How Much Should Be The World's Population
Every place should have a single house. No buildings, everything ground floor. If we do this and the whole lands of our planet earth would be occupied one day with homes, farms, forests, schools, hospitals, etc., then we would come to know how much our planet earth can have maximum population.
Once the population is determined, then we have to maintain that population. For example if our earth can have a population of 10 billion peoples, then when the population reaches 10 billion, then everyone should have only one child till the population reaches 9 billion peoples. As if we have only one child then the population decreases. When population is 9 billion peoples, then everyone should have 2 children's till the population reaches 10 billion peoples. After that again we should have only one child. In this way population can be maintained.
One woman's heaven ,is one woman's nightmare, Then you find the thing you think you are looking for, only to find out it's not necessarily what you what , at different times of your life you have different requirements. What we all need in our lives is balance, a time to party like a wild beast, a time to a solitude Nun , a time to laugh and a time to cry. , If we choose these things at different time of our life We Will achieve Balance.

Darling I am 60 years old and still lost. Today I would kill to be able to live in a remote area free from the horrible life humans have created for us. You are so young. You have so much to live for. Don't feel pressure to know what may come, what you will do... just enjoy the now moment. You have beautiful solitude and peace. That is much, much more than most have. Enjoy life as is because when you are my age you will realize it goes by in a flash and all the worrying leads nowhere. God bless you darling.
I’m 60 as well love 💕 wanting to live this way my entire life, but was caught in the political world. Would love to find like minded souls ( almost sounds like an oxymoron ) but I’m ready to do this now. Living in the US but open to moving wherever the light leads me. And others ✨💖✨
I randomly stumbled upon this video and I realized that we (looking at the comment section as well) are a lot who are trying to figure our way out through our life especially financially. Sending much love, support and hope to everyone. ✨
Im 57, and have been living rural on my own for 10 years. I purchased a larger property 5 years ago and share the same ideas/dreams as you. Due to suffering from chronic migraines for over 40 yrs, i cannot really hold a steady job, so I make a living from home. Its challenging but will persevere. I would not change it for anything else. I love the freedom of rural life. Stay positive, and dont despair. You will find your way. I believe these videos are a great start. Décourage toi pas ma fille. Tu es pas seul. 🤗👩🏻🌾
Can I ask how did you pay for your land
@@user-xx8vm8tw6e i had to get a loan to purchase it at first, and when i sold my home/property that i lived at prior to buying my farm, i was able to pay off my loan.
Glad I found this. I’m 33 flatbroke no job, living with my mom who is threatening to put me out everyday. No friends, no support system. It’s so hard. Thanks for sharing.
You are not alone. You are not alone. We are connected. What you live may feel terrible rigth now, and that's fair enough. But trust me dear friend, you will rise again. The power is within your hands. Believe in yourself, that's all you got to do. Is to move on, and never give up. Never look back. ♡ I'm sending so much LOVE to your heart.
@@VerdantVanille thank you so much ❤️🙏🏾
Same! I know how hard it is. 🙏 But you are strong! Believe in yourself.
I’m going through something. I’m positive will both find are way out of this labyrinth.
Living of the Grid is the best decision 1 can make .The current system has spoilt us and forced us into slavery
So many of us in the same situation! Be kind to one another. We are in the midst of huge changes on this planet. It’s time. Nothing will continue as it has been, and though that’s intensely scary, we are here for this. I’m frozen, having no desire to venture out, but will…
Hugs to you all ✊🏼♥️
huge change lol People barking at the moon about big change since ever. The only change might be to have people willing to take themselves out of the society. For the rest, all business as usual: there can be pandemic, war, migration, whatever you like, and you know what change for average people? nothing
beast system has begun.. a evil system to enlave humanity.. foretold in the book of Revelation.. the mark of the beast in the near future.
Things are changing but God never changes. He can always be counted on
Read the last testament ,the holy coran ,fear will disappear and your heart will find peace and serenity ,learn about real Jesus Moses Abraham Jacob ,peace be upon them all, and worship your creator alone with no partners ,pure monotheism is islam , and nothing will scare you
"You're allowed to be a masterpiece and a work in progress at the same time" - this is the most selfcompassionate thing I've ever heard! I love it and I'm in tears!
Bless you, young but wise soul!

Thanks for being so open. Its comforting to know we’re not alone in these kinds of issues.
This last year I did it. I moved from city life to Montana. Bought my own off grid property. Had refurbished a schoolbus into a tiny home & drove it up the mountain, cleared a spot for it. It’s not all roses and sunshine, though. I was snowed in for 4 months. It’s almost May and we had more snow today. 1:40am, and relaxing in front of the fire with my cat on my lap...but I’m about to go out in freezing weather to chop some more firewood. 😂 It’s amazing though. No more rent checks. I’ll mill my own wood from my property for a cabin. And the winters are amazing, if not downright cold (-40). But I chose a place that’s cold. You all choose a place that speaks to you. Do it. Just. Do. It.
Reading your story brings a huge smile on my face! Keep shining and enjoy the beauty of a simple life my friend!
Montana is a beautiful place to live .. but in the same instance it can be tough to live here too ..I’ve lived here for 50 years kudos to u 👍😁
What you gonna do when you're old and can't chop wood and such?
@@wakeup6910 True. Easy to be idealistic in your 20's. In the long ago past people grew their own vegetables, raised stock to est and sell for money am bartered for goods or services. This is the 21 st century and you need money to buy land, stock, supplies. Then you can't even earn a living as a You Tuber without paying for internet, cameras, lighting etc... What about healthcare when your ill or have an accident? You can live a simpler life for sure but this notion of being "free" is a hoax.
@@wakeup6910 I watched folks retire to mt property. They worked hard to build up the retirement property. But the reality of living on a mt, where a lot of the time the access was only 4WD. Town was miles away, medical care FARTHER. Gathering wood to make it thru a rocky mt winter was seriously hard work. They fought the wildlife for their meager crops, growing season was short. Wildfires in the West are now a season, not just a few scattered instances. Most HAD to sell out as they aged out cuz it was a grueling existence, and their bodies needed care. It was a wake up call for us, the youngest ones of the community. It was their dream but unsustainable in most scenarios. Then came the CA crowd, who thot of the mts as suburbia and wanted HOA's on rural WILD mt property. They brought $$$ and wrong thinking, and basically KILLED off a fragile environment. Wretched types that can't live in harmony with anyone or anything!!!
This is how life was meant to be. Trying to escape this satanic matrix we were born into since birth. Going to a job we hate just so we can barely make it in life. This is not living, more like dying to live. Thanks for your video.
So you find your purpose and never work a day in your life. We need money regardless.
@@AG-nn8lp not unless you get gold out of the river.
I’m with you. We also live in the time of the most opportunity. You have to play the game but you can still be true. If you play both you’re better off than 90% at least of sheep
Speak for yourself. I love life and I love my job and what I do. Good luck 💙👋
my job almost killed me due to the stress.....and so as my children grew i explained to them that if they get a job they hate, leave it for another and keep on looking for that job that you will at least not hate ....a miserable job will consume your health....america is sucking our essence, our life force so that the evil that has manifested itself here can grow....
Wow, that hit really close to my heart. I also quit my job a year ago to renovate an old rural house and to figure out how to authentically contribute to the world without working a job. But boy did I underestimate the existential dread!
And to make matters worse, I also vastly underestimated the time, money and effort I‘d need to put into renovating. It’s been a year, and I didn’t even start on doing anything but renovating.
That said, I‘m closer to my dream home than ever, and I can’t wait to finally come to creating and contributing.
It’s been really heart-warming to see another gentle, independent soul going through similar struggles and who’s not giving up but prevailing.
Isn't it something how we are born into this world with nothing and leave this world with nothing, yet spend our entire lives trying to gather up material things we didn't bring and cannot take with us when we leave? This makes no sense.
I love love love love your channel. It provides deep nourishment to my soul. It lets me know I am not alone.
You are not alone Joe ♥️
Thank you for being here, you are a beautiful person, I mean this.
Like the comment above. Society is spinning Satan's wheel in this matrix.
U r so true...but i wanna put a quote of Gandhi in which he says..."it may not be of much importance whatever you do, but it's really important that you do it."
Me too 😊
Yes. I say to the materialists, Do you ever see a Uhaul following the hearse to the cemetery ?
"I always feel like I'm not good enough. Like everything I do needs to be absolutely perfect, before I can put it out there in the world." That describes my anxieties perfectly. I'm glad I found this, thank you.
To start being someone or doing something does not mean to have it perfect and beautiful, it just means to do it and become better over time, with experience :) ♡
Ur not alone
I just heard this quote yesterday and it really resonated- “Perfection is the enemy of the good”.

Oh how much I feel you. I’ve been given a very powerful tool a few days back, it sounds simple and silly but it truly is magical. I tried it. Visualize an empty bowl in your hands and see it being filled with money. If you need a lot of money, just see a bigger bowl. Do this visualization each day and feel deep gratitude, as if the money was already there. The law of attraction, is a very powerful tool to manifest anything. It all is about what you believe. Believe in yourself and in your ability to create money, I’ve seen your work and art and it is magnificent. You will succeed. I hope this can help you beautiful ♥️

@@VerdantVanille has the law worked for you?
You can be a victim of the financial system or you can be the Victor. There are many people getting rich in today's economy, you just need to learn from them.
Trade labor for money. Easy peasy.
How this came to me at this moment, couldn't be any more perfect. Thank you for care, compassion and sharing. I hope the journey continues with beauty!
Living such a beautiful life needs lots of courage especially while you are in a very strict social environment 😢
In a nutshell: living on your terms is what freedom is all about.
Thank you for sharing your feelings about this broken financial system which saps creativity from us and diminishes the true meaning of life. These feelings resonate with me. I want to do something tangible... Chop firewood, grow my vegetables, have space and time to think in the beauty of nature and harshness of winter. I don't want to think about money. Money is the most uninteresting part of life.
I totally hear you Aubrey, I'm also facing this daily challenge of money - simple life duality. Money, as everything in life, is two sides of the same coin: the yin and yang. The good and bad. And to me, it is the balance in between that is so hard to find...
Thank you so much for your inspiring words Aubrey!
Hi Aubrey.. Hi "Verdant Vanilla". I just felt I wanted to point out to you both that the financial system is not broken, in any way. It is purposely designed to do what it does, and it does it very effectively.. The entire "financial" system is a 100% fraud and crime. It is a debt based system of counterfeiting "money", which is no money. Only silver and gold are money, and they have been the only money for many thousands of years. The "money" that all people are made to slave their lives away for, is counterfeit fiat currency. Fiat currency is no money, but so long as the global populace continues to believe it is money, so long will the global populace continue to sacrifice their time, their energy, and their freedom, their and each other's entire lives, for it. As I said, all fiat currencies are counterfeited by the globalist cabal central banking mafia, and their "governments". This the slight of hand through which the privately owned central banking mafia, creates "National debts". The privately owned Rothschild & cronies central banking syndicate counterfeits the numbers, which are then swapped with the "governments", that they fund and control, and through this method of slight of hand all the counterfeit fiat currency becomes national debt. Now the "governments" can tax all peoples for repayment of the "national" debts, but obviously these debts can never be repaid, without creating more "national" debts in the process, for, after all, ALL fiat currency is counterfeit out of thin air, for free and out of nothing, as debts to the people. The only way for this swindle and crime to end, is for all people around the world to recognize the fraud that they themselves commit on themselves and on each other, and to stop doing it any further. There's a lot more to tell, but I must stop myself from writing a book here..
@@renevdfvries2148 Thanks for sharing Rene. I watched Zeitgeist earlier this year and it blew my mind. You're absolutely right.

I believe this life was designed for hardship in order to teach us the values of what really matters. One thing is for certain and that is that there is not one human being on this planet that lives a life without struggling. It is those very struggles that make us stronger and more capable of dealing with life. We can teach others what we have learned if we are not self focused. There is much peace in not focusing on ourselves only. God bless you child.
Powerful ♥️
Struggle is a necessary precursor to birth
Absolutely loved every moment watching this! It's so rare to find something like this on UA-cam. Wow I'm just so moved emotionally right now.
im setting out on a similar path , im 30 , very little savings , i could never force myself to conform to a job or a standard modern consumer lifestyle , and in a way now im glad , there is another way , a way where perhaps i can find peace , thank you for sharing your story , i think as the system breaks down more and more people will realise that , things dont matter , relationship's matter , people matter , and there is so much more to life than being confined to a factory , or a cubicle
I so agree with you! I can't wait to see where these life adventures take you ♡
Yes I agree!
I feel you. 30 years, no savings just lots of debt..
@@marcosleal4951 if you can try to ammed that , even if you have to chip away at it , if you can get debt free its all the better for your future
It’s like we see how the world is built for profit and competition a d not the way humans were intended to “just live” and love and have harmony in life. I hate it and look forward to Heaven most days. This world is just ughhh...but I will keep finding the beauty in it❤️
Number 1. Stay strong. Keep busy. I am a 53 year old Navajo. I have moved back to the Navajo Nation Reservation. I live in a shack with dirt floor. Listen to people who bring up your spirits. Get the city life out of your head. You will make it. We will all make it. Let money money be the tenth thing on your mind. May what ever Creator you pray to BLESS you.
Ahe’hee.
This is good advice. You are fortunate to have land to return to.
I’m so glad I found you. You share so many of my same sentiments, same gifts, same desires for life. I want what you have, not in an envious way, but my heart yearns for things I’ve seen you and many others have accomplished. I am 54 yo and honestly feel I’ve done nothing with my life. I know that I’m literally here to bring healing to others, though still seeking my niche, my outlet, where I can best be used by God. I look forward to this journey. It’s absolutely terrifying.
Don't give up. My first year in the bush was the hardest. Made some promises to myself that first winter. The money stress will pass as you find the joy and happiness that money doesn't buy. Good luck.
I worked my life for others, literally breaking my neck and other parts of my body in my career, trying to justify my willingness to be a wage slave by saying what I do was critical to keeping people fed and alive. The truth is I was chewed up, lied to, broken in mind and body, and finally discarded when I was no longer able to be productive due to the injuries I received while working. I am nothing more than garbage to this sham now, and they wonder why I don't want to participate in this disgusting system any longer.
We live in a chaotic world. But I truly believe you have the power to make things change. Yes, you. Nothing lasts forever, and this too, shall pass. Stay strong and hopeful, light is on the way. ♡
Amen....yup.....

I am so with you! Why has it gotten absolutely impossible to live in our world unless one is very rich?!? 90% of the population is almost broke or one paycheck away if they have a paycheck! I am disgusted by it all!
Because of Capitalism
This sums up how I feel and where I am at too girl. 28 years old and working three jobs. I like my work because the pay is good and the people I work for are local and sincere. Also, we provide the community with a positive space. Still, I yearn for this freedom you have. What a good thing to remember: always believe in yourself. Beautiful video and honest message. I am about ready to start seriously saving for a country style home and creating my own healing experience for people...somehow 🌻🙌😊
Wow im feeling the same way. I'm also 26 and the past years I've been going through so much. Healing, clearing on so many levels and realigning myself to my true nature and what my heart truly wants. It's been quite a journey and I'm not where I've been wanting to be yet but I still have hope and doing the best I can everyday. Thank you so much for sharing a glimpse of your journey and your struggles as well. I feel reassured and warm in my heart that we are not alone but all together striving for a more soul-lead world. 🙏🏾🧡
You described me to the T.
I've worked since I was 13 I'm 50 now. I'm tired.
I've spent the last 7 years trying to find peace.
You're 26? I want you to succeed my dear ❣️
I'm beyond happy you could identify to my words Jill.
Thank you, deeply, for your kindness. I'm sending you a tone of love and light onto your path.
Rest your body, recharge, take care of your heart. ♡
I'm 50 also. Worked 50-60hrs a week in steel mills and machine shops the last 26 years. I'm over it. Really close to sell 90% of my "stuff" that I thought made me happy and go off grid on a small piece of land. - Can't buy time back, no matter how much overtime you work.
I totally agree with u Jill 👍
I was always looking for peace, meaning, fulfillment as well- and then someone told me about Jesus. Jesus is the prince of peace- if you are looking for peace honey- look for Jesus- He will give you peace for your soul the world cannot offer you. And read the gospels while you seek to know and understand Him- He will change your life! And He's the truth!
God bless! 💗💗💗
@@moparone7962 I will be 69 this year and have been living off grid for the last twelve years. If you are going to do this,do it soon so that when you get older and your strength and stamina decrease that you will have things the way you want them. I am happier than I've ever been having stepped out of the rat race. Buy a few solar panels, a good inverter and some large batteries. It isn't as expensive as people think. If possible dig a well. I wish you the best
“Independence and freedom were calling my name.” That resonated. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I’m happy you could find a bit of yourself in my words ♥️
I love the story of your journey. Almost exactly like ours.. Just about to change our entire life and live in our camper and build our tiny house in austrailia. The financial prison will never leave us.. We can only adapt. Enjoy every moment you can. Lots of love and energy your way!
I’m almost 52, and I’m in the biggest turmoil of my life and it’s terrifying and you are not alone. I yearn for the days of my childhood being on the farm and I can’t obtain this no matter how much I want it. Please don’t give up and I have to see if you have any updates on your channel because no matter what happens I’m rooting for you to find your peace no matter what or where it happens.
Hi! Wow I have so much in common. 12 years ago I moved (not off grid) but to a tiny beach town in a third world country. As opposed to also have been a massage therapist at a 5 star spa. I spent 12 amazing years living at the foot of mountains right on the beach. I wasn't completely isolated... there was a tiny community. But life was peace and nature.
Finally after 12 years I decided to rejoin society because I have 2 small children who just needed a little more in life than I could offer in that town.
Anyways your videos are so peaceful to watch. Wishing you so much peace and synchronicity. Bonne chance!
What an inspiring story Syl!! Your message gives me peace ♡
Hi Verdant. I just discovered your channel today. You are such a profound, introspective and good natured person. Just remember that you are enough as you are in every moment and in whatever you are doing. You are courageous for havig taken that leap of faith to live off grid. Don't be hard on yourself. You will find your way.. . You have many manual skills and are very articulate. You are a healer too. You might even write a book someday. A book on self reflection.. Maybe a children's book too... Its a process. Nothing comes automatically. Wishing you the best .
Giovanna, you make my heart so happy right now ♥️
I think a children's book would be great, something empowering. I love stories and in a strange way, the style of video and the way you tell the story almost feels like a fairy tale, like a girl living and surviving in the wilderness, taking care of herself, building and creating, but living freely in and connected to nature. Yes, I'm kind of romanticizing and this is your life and it can be a struggle, especially if you are not sure how long you can keep going on like this. But there aren't enough stories for or about girls and young women who are strong and resilient.
I’m 20 with no debt and you give me something to work for I will start after I graduate school this year, I never had any hope of owning anything of worth. What you do has shown me it’s possible to do anything I put my mind to thank you
It's hard to make it in life. We were promised nothing, and the reality is that there is no calvary coming to save us. I'm 71, have lived what I consider an amazing life, but have still had to work very hard every day since I was 13. If there were no evil government monetary system, we would still have to work hard every day to survive, having to do things we do not enjoy or believe fulfilling, to simply stay alive each day. I understand where you are coming from. I'm a creative as well. But that creativity needs to result in tangible things that have value to others, as well as being fulfilling to us. Everything else is an illusion. "Finding yourself" is a lifelong journey.
I completely agree
your comment is super motivating
I just turned 60..I'm fortunate enough to have 40 acres to build a small house on. Can't afford help (nor do I want it), so I'm building it myself. It's a 600 sq ft cabin in the woods. It's my financial plan to be able to live inexpensively. We all do what we gotta do, but the rewards are worth the struggle. Hang in there. Keep moving forward. ❤️
I’m starting over at 50.. I refuse to go back to the rat race. It kills our spirit. Simple, minimalist lifestyle is calling my name. I let a lot of things go and now I’m in transition. I’ve raised two beautiful boys and now I have my 10 year old son. I’m sacrificing so much just to be able to have this time with him. It’s been financially difficult but it’s amazing how little we can do without in the physical world when you have peace of mind and your needs met ❤ God is blessing all of us and we all deserve love. I can relate to the not good enough syndrome.. it’s a lie. Perseverance and grit go a long way. Life should be simple.. we are making things too damn complicated.
You will succeed. Never doubt your power Marie.
@@VerdantVanille thank you for the kind words 😊👍
I am also 50 and wanting to start over i seen your comments after the video and you saying u r starting over give me hope and the want to THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS KEEP ME UPDATED IF U CAN OR WANT TO
@@kevinfehlinger6191 I have been doing well thank you 😊 I realize it’s starting over but not starting from the beginning… just with a new perspective and wiser. We are still young! God bless us all ❤️🙏
Hello, I started over at your age with my 13 yr. old son. I bought an old 1969 mobile home that had been empty for 3 years. I paid 20,000 cash. Basically all I had. We did what we could and now 12 years later I have my tiny dream home. I have a cute little yard and a deck. I grow veggies in the summer. I do live in a town but close to the center so not in woods BUT my yard is my oasis and my cost of living is super low. I can live on 1000.00 a month. My son is now grown and bought a home 2 mobiles down from me along with 2 more of my children (I have 7 all grown) So now we have 4 homes in this park and I am now President of the park! Never give up. I didn't and I am so happy my hard work paid off. I sell paintings, restore dolls and worked as a nanny in the Indian community for 25 years. Now I am retired. Best of luck to you :)
I just discovered your video by chance, on autoplay, and I am so glad I found you today. As if I were meant to stumble upon your video by ''chance''.
This is so raw, and has really spoken to me as I'm sure it has many others.
Thank you and sending love to you from the UK.
Such a wonderful phase of reflection you where going through in this off grid journey. Thanks for sharing it❤
I honestly believe what we're all looking for is balance.
And that is a forever changing scale for all of us.
I saw the titles of your other videos, about loneliness, cold, endometriosis, surrendering, and financial struggles. That, what you're experiencing in my opinion isn't freedom.
Those who live the rat race have similar feelings, thoughts, scares and experiences.
We're human.
We're not free in this world, only, and sometimes, in the mind.
It's all about balance.
Work parttime, do what you love in the other hours, passion projects.
Work 6 months on & off & travel.
Work full-time and go somewhere every other weekend.
We can always change things up. It's our lives, nothing is permanent.
We all have to put in some type of effort to sustain a living, for ourselves, our family, for society- our neighbours. It's up to you to balance it out.
Exactly!
I agree with this wholeheartedly.
Best comment…
The most logical solution.
Life is all about keeping balance.
This is pure wisdom from experience. I am going to take a picture of this comment and refer it. That's what I believe in.
The video and the comments only verify that it's all spiraling down. I'm with you. I just hope you don't spend too much time alone. I broke away for 6 years and loneliness wasn't a problem until one day it was, and it broke me, I almost didn't come back to the living. Love you and anyone who reads this.
I experienced the same; I was feel so free and careless for 3years living on grid by my own - and one day I figured out that I don't feel the freedom anymore but loneliness; it start to suffocating me... Humans need closeness of another human for our mental and emotional health.
Me too. From Chicago to Havana, Illinois, "downriver"...I moved from living on the 51st floor in downtown Chicago on the Chicago River for 20 years, and 27 total in Chicago, and in 2021 moved along the Illinois River and bought a house near the Emiquon National Wildlife Refuge. This town, Havana, is so beautiful and affordable. I am living a verson of what you decided to do, too.
I have cooked professionally for over 20 years and you absolutely do not have to be a chef to create beautiful food. People ask me all the time about cooking and I give the same answer, I learnt. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, they are very introspective.
Hi, thank you so much for this video. i'm 21, living at home still and working a job that makes me stare out the window and try not to cry. I've been trying to gather the courage to actually change the course of my life but I am terrified. I don't know if I'm more scared of the change itself or If nothing will ever change. It's a horrifyingly lonely thing to feel but your words have made me cry in relief and feel much less alone. Thank you, I hope you are doing well.
You are not alone Rachel, and you have a very big heart ♡
I will give you this little bit of 😢advice. Terrified at applying/starting a new job ? Ask yourself what’s the worst that can happen…… get fired or fail. Either way it will bbe a learning experience.
Likewise if you start a business. Mistakes are there to learn
Makes you think things through.
I am 88, wish i was your age. There is so much going on, grab a piece of it. Cheers
@@91hiace this is a nice piece of advice
I'm with you, some of us are still figuring out what we can do to earn a living from real passions, real pride in the things we work on. Let's get there slowly but surely.
Hi!
In your 20s you are just a child, so don't be terrified or cry- you make as much mistakes as you can and get your experience for the adult life. You will make your conclusions in your 30s and you will know what is yours. Just live as your soul calls you to live.
And in my 30s I have learned that in any bad situation I will survive, I trust my inner self, It never gave me up! Ever. I always had food if I was starving and asked myself what can I do... I always had place to sleep when I needed... And I always had a friend in me))))
Good luck and be brave! Life is great and always will be.
I think that if we all sat down and searched our souls we would chose to be free and self-sufficient in our livelihood and our homes. I think the motivating factor as to why we cling to the status quo is fear. It takes courage and hard work and being uncomfortable a lot of the time in order to go against the grain. I fully support your huge endeavor and will pray for your journey 💕
I think you stated a lot truths Cathy. It is regretful that such a minority of people control us, and do it thanks to the fear they force into our minds. But you're right, it all really is about the will to grow and accepting to walk in the shadow. I thank you, with all my heart. For your support and for being such a kind woman, take great care. ♡
How To Live In Harmony With Nature And Reduce Pollution
1. Many Production Which We Do Not Need Actually For Human Beings Has To Be Stopped
We manufacture so many products and it is creating pollution. So if we minimise our products, pollution would be less.
We produce so many things which we do not need, like cold drinks, leather products, potato wafers, chips, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc.
Cold drinks, fruit juices, pickles, ice creams, etc. Should be cooked at home only.
If we stopped producing this things which are not required for humans, so much pollution could be reduced.
If we colour the clothes pollution occurs. So if we don't colour our clothes, the pollution resulting from colouring the clothes can be stopped. Let everything remain in white natural colour.
2. We Should Cook Foods In Its Natural Form
We can cook rice and wheat in our homes and eat it. Rice and Wheat is produced in farms. Then it is packed and transported to big warehouses, then wholesalers buy from them and supply to retail shops.
But if a manufacturing company makes bread from rice and wheat, then to make bread a manufacturing company has to be set up, machines and working staffs are needed. When a company is built many other things are also needed. Then at last a plastic pack is required to pack the breads.
So if we start cooking eatable things in its natural form then we do not need many companies like bread manufacturing company, tomato ketchup, noodles, fruit jam, pizza, burger, etc., the things required for the company and the plastic pack, paper box pack and glass bottles. If done like this, so many companies will not be required and hence less pollution for the world.
Also we could save our money like this. If you buy a packet of bread, it would cost you more money than if you cook wheat and rice in home.
Previously before industrial revolution, we didn't have technology, but our foods were rich with nutrients. Now we have technology, but technology is polluting our foods and our foods are not rich with nutrients, and because of that also we have health problems.
If this is done, then many jobs would be lost. For that many peoples should do farming and they should be given loans if they do not have enough money to start farming on their own.
Food, Medicines, Surgeries and Education's should be made free to the world till the world settles down with farming. After that food, medicines, surgeries and education's should be stopped free to the world.
Many people should study botany subject so that they have knowledge of plants and they should do farming.
Is their any another solution, that humans won't lose jobs and also pollution would decrease. Humans have to take this step certainly instead of going on polluting the earth, making wildlife extinct and also mass extinctions of humans in future.
3. Electricity Pollution
We create electricity from many types of sources like coal, water, etc., but it creates pollution. If electricity created from windmill and solar energy then no pollution occurs in the creation process. But still to manufacture windmill and solar machines pollution would occur.
As I previously said that if we shut down many manufacturing companies which are producing things which are not needed for humans, then the world would not require so much electricity. If less electricity required, then less pollution generated.
4. Could We Stop Drinking Cow's and Buffalo's Milk
Whatever vitamins and nutrients we get from milk, if we can get it from other eatable things, then we can stop drinking cow's and buffalo's milk. As milk has to be packed in glass bottles and plastic packs and then transported to places. All of this can be stopped.
For infants whose mother's have died or mother's who cannot breast feed their infants, only for them cow's and buffalo's milk should be given. We use milk in tea and coffee. Instead of milk we must use lime with tea and coffee or just plain tea and coffee. A lime should be cut into a few pieces and cooked with tea and coffee or something else can be used instead of lime.
5. How Much Should Be The World's Population
Every place should have a single house. No buildings, everything ground floor. If we do this and the whole lands of our planet earth would be occupied one day with homes, farms, forests, schools, hospitals, etc., then we would come to know how much our planet earth can have maximum population.
Once the population is determined, then we have to maintain that population. For example if our earth can have a population of 10 billion peoples, then when the population reaches 10 billion, then everyone should have only one child till the population reaches 9 billion peoples. As if we have only one child then the population decreases. When population is 9 billion peoples, then everyone should have 2 children's till the population reaches 10 billion peoples. After that again we should have only one child. In this way population can be maintained.

you are doing it, wow! I stayed up after a 14 hour shift, feeling exhausted yet couldn't sleep. stuck in a rat race by myself in this small-big world. You're an inspiration, thanks! "set your boat on fire"
When I was in my late 30s, I started from scratch and got an education as a nurse (RN). I had 2 little girls and they were my motivation. I took out student loans and worked my butt off. It was very hard but it gave me a career with a living wage. I’m now in my 60s. Still working but with a little house in the country. It has an in-law apartment which covers my mortgage. I would have loved to have had an off-grid life but it wouldn’t have worked for me. Life rarely turns out as we had wished. Yet I’m thankful for my wonderful daughters and grandchildren. I am blessed and wish you a blessed and fulfilling life.
I agree Go Gr. As a young person I knew my career wants, I volunteered in a zillion places to get more experience leading into that area, managed a horse farm on the side and moved out west to see new places with the career. I think doing all that when you are young helps you be more content if the marriage fails and you have kids to raise on your own. You do what you have to do and I wouldn't change the experience. I try to find a balance in my older years of job and urban homestead type living. Just do the best you can! Make your memories. So many young people have great ideas to make it all possible, but I love my era too. They are both great. Thanks! Take care!
You sacrificed in many ways so that maybe your daughters won’t have to. I’m sure they are grateful. 💚
Just turned 26 and Introverted I'm ready to live off grid,the city is just too much for me now,Its overwhelming I feel suffocated so what I'm trying to say is you are living my dream life

Your words brought tears into my eyes.
I am working hard to open my heart to the world and show my raw deeper self. I feel beyond grateful you could grasp that.

4. Could We Stop Drinking Cow's and Buffalo's Milk
Whatever vitamins and nutrients we get from milk, if we can get it from other eatable things, then we can stop drinking cow's and buffalo's milk. As milk has to be packed in glass bottles and plastic packs and then transported to places. All of this can be stopped.
For infants whose mother's have died or mother's who cannot breast feed their infants, only for them cow's and buffalo's milk should be given. We use milk in tea and coffee. Instead of milk we must use lime with tea and coffee or just plain tea and coffee. A lime should be cut into a few pieces and cooked with tea and coffee or something else can be used instead of lime.
5. How Much Should Be The World's Population
Every place should have a single house. No buildings, everything ground floor. If we do this and the whole lands of our planet earth would be occupied one day with homes, farms, forests, schools, hospitals, etc., then we would come to know how much our planet earth can have maximum population.
Once the population is determined, then we have to maintain that population. For example if our earth can have a population of 10 billion peoples, then when the population reaches 10 billion, then everyone should have only one child till the population reaches 9 billion peoples. As if we have only one child then the population decreases. When population is 9 billion peoples, then everyone should have 2 children's till the population reaches 10 billion peoples. After that again we should have only one child. In this way population can be maintained.

me: moi non plus
This is a good SHOW . it tugged at my heart for a few moments until I visited a website & her other videos & comments. A beautiful woman is Not destitute & certainly not alone.😆 people are conned every day.😲
I am Lightworker healer and have many gifts
Just don't use it to sustain my bank account
It is given freely
Money returns to me in gifts
You can do it! I've been struggling a lot with being strapped to a job that dictates a huge part of my day and life. Last year my husband and I decided that instead of working to be FIRE for the next 7 years, that we're going to work through summer 2023, save as much as we can, and move to an acreage. We're going to start a hard cider orchard and fruit nursery / market garden ☺️
If you can find a way; you should do it now!!! Don't wait. Don't wait.
I hope you are very successful
Wish you the best in that venture. Work for yourself screw the system.
Good luck
I too have struggled financially my entire life and with these same questions you are asking, though I'm learning about these things at a much later phase of life. You are such a bright light dear one, it breaks my heart. What I see is that you are already skillfully on the path of the heart and if you stay true to that you cannot fail. Namaste.
It's never late. Thank you for your light ♡
Lost my job two years ago, took the opportunity to open my own business. It's been a rollercoaster ride, and after the last few months I just want to move into the woods.
There's a reason this video came to me.
Do what many people do: rent a tiny place in the countryside an hour's drive from your home.
@@francefradet2116 if I could afford that I would
I was like this when I was 26, the same thoughts and insecurities and self doubts. Jump forward 30 years and Ive not changed one bit, just older and still as poor, and yes life has thrown challenges and experiences at me which I wouldnt change for the world but I sometimes wonder if life could have been different. Do your best that suits you and live honestly.
Life keep teaching me to stay close to nature and loved ones…all of the rest is just noise ❤️
You are still breathing and waking up every morning mate.
It is never to late
this young woman found the path at 26. many of us reach that point on our 40's and 50's.
… yes, live honest…
I too started my journey into the self supporting self reliant life I now live at about your age but it took me 20 more years of constantly striving for perfection to realise what you already know. I had nothing but a desire I had lost everything I owned and started again with just a hammer a broken welder and a dream. I have lived that dream for the past 30 years as a blacksmith and artist a builder of things a lover of nature. I own my land and buildings all my tools I have made or rebuilt built my buildings from the earth and planted my garden. I few years ago I fell ill and have not been able to do the work I once did. And again I am now facing that task of finding a way savings are dwindling fast. This lovely video and your message has given me the hope and drive to start again to find a way to make it work. I thank you and wish you great success in all you do.
Just subscribed to your channel…will be catching up on your life. Hope you are finding your way 🙏
Best wishes to you as you journey forward.
This is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing the beginnings of your journey (and your certainty) so openly and gracefully for us all to see! ✨💖
The amazing energy and life you bring into your videos is just insane. It's so awesome this video made me feel so good and full of good energies.
Moving the camera around every minute seems exhausting
I wish I had the opportunity to be where you are, Im so depressed here in the states in the city life. I do my best to ground myself through nature but I can feel the weight still on me, it saddens me how the financial system is definitely takes a toll on many of us
I hear your struggles my dear. Keep grounding yourself and breathe deeply each day. Things will get better, they always do. ♥️
I hear that ❤️ change is possible!
Ya, I feel like living far away from the big cities and living a simpler life will be less stressing. Not 100% stress free. But a healthier option for overall mental and emotional well being.
I turned 20 in November last year and I had wasted 2 years of my life because of my deteriorating mental health and now I am halfway through the third and I always thought of myself as a failure and a family disappointment while my friends are going to college and making a career, I was feeling particularly down today because I was contemplating how alone and miserable I am but after watching this I know I'll do something with my life...thank you so much for making this video :)
You are so young and just beginning in life ~ ZERO percent of you is a failure ~ it’s all a learning scale…all wisdom you are gaining even in the difficult times where you feel you are failing…you are GAINING strength, perspective and wisdom …you have SO MUCH BEAUTY ahead of you…try not to let your mind compare yourself to others…your journey is YOURS and the empathy & understanding you gain along the way are treasures… keep going…you ARE a survivor…you WILL blaze your own path ❤️
@@ragdollpreppers2648 thank you so much, I am just going to follow my heart and do everything that I wanted to do and put in the effort needed to live such a life.
💖
Yes your path is different and college doesn’t necessarily lead to education or financial wealth…. What do you do that makes you truly happy? Do that and if you are not sure yet, just explore by taking extracurricular classes… 💙
I've had times like yours in my lifetime but hung in there, one never knows what is around the corner. I Truely hope you find better times ahead!.
You are so brave Tatakae, and you are on the right path! Keep walking honey, one step at a time ♡
I can relate to this and your words so much thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us! I definitely need to believe in myself more!
Everything is within yourself Joe, never doubt your power ♥️
Love this. Beautiful, honest video in a gorgeous, natural location. Well editted and i enjoyed the aesthetics. As someone who has wholesome goals of having an off grid homestead but has to find the compromise between earning money to live while being a free spirit. Thank you for sharing your perspective and experience. This certainly resonated with me on many levels. I hope you can find balance and achieve your goals. This wish of mine goes out to anyone else who reads this with similar dreams 🙏🌱✨
The thing is... If we were more people, we could create an alternative society, so we wouldnt have to fight alone. And why not do it? I know many like minded people. Keep strong!
Literally millions but this will be Not tolerated by the powers of this world
They won't allow it. We have to fight for it.
You mean a cult
@@maeybee4354 a cult? I dont understand
Then you'd have to do a lot of stuff you don't want to do for the group.
I often imagine groups of 10, 20, 50 people coming together buying land and living on self sufficient little communities all around the world.
People struggle alone. Not only to physically survive, but most of all also mentally and emotionally, with all the stress and anxiety that a big change comes with. Becoming totally self-conscious, self-aware, self-reliant and self-sufficient is a really hard and challenging thing to do. Specially if you do it all alone.
People are not alone in their struggles. There are millions of people around the world going through the same pain, the same heartache, feeling as lost and broken as anybody can be.
People should come together and help build each other up, support each other, care for one another. This is what life is all about!
That said, from the bottom of my heart, I hope you're well and healthy, living a good life, growing and prospering always, accomplishing all your goals and needs, one step at a time.
You seem to be a kind and brave soul. I wish you all that is good and loving. Be safe and live prosperous. 🙏❤
This is what life is about Homem! As « into the wild » movie teaches us, happiness is only real when shared. And we have so much to learn from each other. You are a great and wise spirit, you deserve to soar in abundance ♥️ Your words touch me greatly, thank you, deeply.
I so long to do what you mention. My dream is to buy property together and build on it together.
@@VerdantVanille
I heard what you said in video. That you don't feel you're good enough. This is b c you worked as employee, and were always told keep doing better you're being watched abd judged .
Thats not all that life has.
It's not safe to gather with foreigner ,of course community is strong than individual ,but sometimes foreigners bring chaos
Beautiful words I appreciate your authenticity. Many blessings to you on your journey. You are amazing, keep inspiring others. 💗
Thank you fir this video.very brave of you .i love it that you know you will succeed i pray you have an amazeing journey of descovery.this life is what we make it and you can clearly see you love your life x
This video made me cry, in a good way 🥰. Technology, money and working to live and living to work is not the way we are supposed to live, getting in touch with our roots is the truth. I'm struggling more than anything right now, and it's extremely scary. This gave me positivety, thank you so much. Your beautiful inside and out.
I'm happy it could resonate within your heart Alexis, thank you so much ♡
I’m starting over from zero at 43.
Was in a 12 year relationship and with the ending of that, the career I was doing went with it. As well as the place I was living.
I totally understand the things you are saying and your feelings in this video.
You are beautiful and magical and such a blessing 💖💖💖
You bring so much love into this world by being you and with your healing that you bring that flows out of you.
May you always be blessed 💛💛💛
You are on the right path honey ♥️
You can do it darling! Good luck
Actually it is known as inner peace....My mom and dad also moved to their village 6 years back and they are living peacefully and healthy...Green everywhere and on the bank of the river.... Love from India ...
I so so want a life like this. The modern world filled with consumerism is killing me. Superficiality is killing me. Perfectionism and FOMO are reducing me to ashes.
May God bless all of us who have chosen living rural in a spiritual and self sustainable way of life. Right now I am moving with my wife to our farmland in Venezuela.
Needed to hear this. No amount of learning seems good enough. And then I see those who confidently market themselves and do what I can do and I wonder what stops me. My value is not defined by my achievements and perfection. I am now choosing to offer what I can to the world. And I hope I will leave it a teeny bit better just by breathing into my fears and stepping one step forward.
Thank you. 🥰 😭 🥰
Inspiring 🌻
You are a great inspiration and I'm proud to subscribe to your channel. Millions of people all over the world are struggling and living on the streets with nothing. So, you are far ahead of many. The world is heading towards a serious economic meltdown, so try to prepare for hyperinflation. Take care.
Thank you for your wise words dear William. You take big care of your kind self ♡
@@VerdantVanille i live in South Africa,I dont mind sharing a piece of Land with you ,@ no charge .

You're brilliant at storytelling through the lens of your camera. Very lovely imagery. Every frame is beautifully composed.
I'm so grateful for finding your channel 🙏 your heart felt words and honesty truly resonated with me ❤ this is absolutely the way we are all meant to live IMO. I will support you in any way I can. Kia kaha from New Zealand soul sister 😊 Xx
I wish the whole world would initiate a basic income to people. Let people pursue passions and live the life they want. No longer being tied to a job just to survive. Jobs should be a means to earn more if you want, it should be a choice. Too many jobs care about the bottom line, they treat workers badly, exploit many, and pay as little as possible where people can barely afford the basics.
I want to live in a world where people are happier and able to work on things they love and don't have to worry about how they will survive month to month.
Knowing those greedy cooperations, they would just raise prices if everyone got universal basic income and force people into slave labour anyway.
MAKE THE CHANGE, MANY ARE!
@bina nocht I agree so much and I get frustrated when people don’t see this and go “oh wow yes we want universal basic income” and I’m like “at what price and how do we see it’s not one and the same with the old stuff?” Then I take a big breath and remember we are the timeline we choose to feed. Feeding consciously the timeline where I’m able to go 100% off the grid and meet with other likeminded people and we share and live in harmony while staying individually full filled and self-expressed (cause also the tribe thing can be very imbalanced and make people lose individual identity into the group for the sake of resources so we gotta be mindful of that, too) 🍀✨
You want to be owned? Because that is what your "dream" is. You want to pursue your passion, go do it. You have a choice, you want to be taken care of, go screw yourself up,be disabled, lose your self respect. Then you'll be taken care of
You don't understand a thing about this world if you think that would be the solution. Who is generating that income you feel entitled to?
Moved out of the apartment and into the van and I’ve been in it for about 15 days now things going great and I found this video because I’ve started making my plan for off grid living thank you so much this video was great
I am 22 years old and I have realized this is the life I want (off grid) I feel like living in the countryside will bring me more joy than i have now .. but for me to be able to do so , i need to save money first and have courage too
To live the cabin life, you have to have a whole host of skills that include being able to use an axe properly, to be able to cut firewood properly, to be able to weatherproof your cabin properly, and on and on and. I lived in a one room cabin on an isolated ranch in Montana for 16 years, but I was the 4th generation on that place and I grew up there learning the accumulated skills and local knowledge of and from the prior three generations. Living in a cabin is a lot of work.
There is always work. But factory or office work is not as good as chopping wood or harvesting food.
@@LilyGazou I agree. I lived the cabin life for most of 16 years.
Thank you so much for sharing this... This is the encouragement I needed to continue moving forward in the decisions I have made to work towards my dreams and living the way in which I choose! 🥰🥰🥰
Videos like this one really put things into perspective. Simple life, even though not always easy, is definitely the most healthy in the long run. Best of luck to you and stay safe.
You're very right my dear! Thank you very much for your support, it really means a lot to me. ♡
I'm going off grid soon,leaving a corrupt and violent California. Away to the mountains I will go.
Like pioneers.
