Don’t think too hard about xmas it will consume you, it’s just another day and will come and go.. as time has gone on I realised that most of the problems we face are in fact built up in our own skewed thoughts .. be grateful for the peace of your own space.
Aww lovely.. this is such a touching Video. It is lovely to see you open up. Very Brave, showing this side is very good as Mental Health in men is important :) x
Hey Rob. Wise words mate and good to hear you’re healing and dealing with life in a healthy way. Happy Birthday too mate… 47! I honestly thought you were 42 at the oldest! 🎉 Love the channel. You’ve inspired me to start my own after thinking about it for a long time.
Must be something about 2024!! I’m in same situ as you. Same age too 😂 only been 4 months and I too have decided to do vanlife. It’s tough 10 steps forward 100 back some days. You’ve made the right choice I’ve found so much healing from being able to travel in the van. It’s a process stay strong and all the best 😊
Fair play to you, I bet it took a lot of courage to say what you said on your video , we can all learn something from your wise words , we can only do our best mate , onwards and upwards in 2025💪 I’ve owned my T4 for 6yrs , great vans , just keep on top of the maintenance .
Really nice to stumble across your channel, Rob. You seem like such a lovely guy - and as a fellow van dweller of a similar age over here in Australia, it's comforting to hear about your story. Look forward to going back and watching your past videos. :)
Happy birthday mate . great video , very heartfelt. At our lowest moments we have time to reflect, pick ourselves up dust off and move on. One foot in front of the other 👏 glad I don’t have to make another bed 😂🤙
Stay strong my friend I always watch your videos and will continue to support you and your channel. As you know I’m going through the same. Since being in the van I’ve found people in the same situation as us, and all guys. You make sure you have a great birthday tomorrow, I want you to upload a beer or meal picture with you smiling. Keep up the good work.
Happy birthday Rob. (If I may call you Rob). We can all make mistakes you also can’t control life. Just make the best of each opportunity. Hope the new van is working out for you.
Great video as always Rob, it really is a time for reflection this time of year isn’t it? I was supposed to be at home instead I’m back at sea working but hey, such is life! Happy birthday, have a drink on me mate 😊
6 months is not long at all.. I’ve been through it and still going through it. People say it takes time to recover.. I don’t think you ever recover. You just find ways to cover up the pain and carry on!
It took me over 3 years to get over the heartbreaking time. My kids ignore me even though i was not in the wrong😢. I won't ever talk to them again as I cant face the pain. Im ok now it was when i was 52 and im now 67 and content but scarr3d. Good luck buddy 👍
Well done man. It’s a hard ask to get most people to accept they could be their own worst enemy. I see the biggest wnkr I’ve ever met when I look in the mirror every morning 😎. Becoming humble is a good feeling. Thanks for the chat and your honesty, keep strong and ho fkn ho. 💪🏻🙏🏻
Hey there you sound like youve been learning a lot about yourself.im very sorry to hear of your recent troublesim 55 ive made unwise choices and also good ones.the time in your van is good therepy for you and i think your going to be ok going forward i wish you every happiness🌈
Thankyou for sharing. 🤗💜💜💜 That's a big step speaking about it! I've been single 9 yrs! I'm 58 yrs young! Every relationship is different, what one didn't like the other did! You learn a lot about yourself being single. Just be you, love yourself, and time is a healer! Love and Light.
Happy birthday Rob! The weather is awful down in the South but I hope you have a good day anyway! It's fantastic that you're spending time figuring out who you are and how you'd like to live your life. It'll put you in a much more informed place for finding the right person, if you choose to have another relationship. You seem like a good person at heart and I struggle to see that anything you could have done would have been that awful and unforgivable. Someone will come along who won't expect you to be perfect, noone is at the end of the day. They will love you for who _you_ are and want to work together to build a relationship that works and brings happiness for both of you. Sending you a huge virtual hug and I hope you have a fantastic day enjoying your new van!
Happy Birthday Rob,🎂yes I hope the new year is a good for you mate? you have lots of people that are out there and mate no body is perfect in this world. we all make miscasts ,some big ,some small but we have to move forward just like you are doing my friend. Take care champ ,cheers David🙂.
I'm a similar age to you and in a similar situation, live in van/boat in Plymouth area and with a trail of relationship troubles behind me. I've learned an enormous amount fron it all. If you want to a coffee and a talk anytime let me know.
Hi Rob Happy Birthday🎈🎈🍰 m8 coincidently my birthday was yesterday 6 December 61 years yesterday hehe. If I learned anything from my breakup it is that if you select anyone else to spend your life with that person has to have the fear of God in them, which makes them look inwardly because of their commitment to God which reflects outwardly to people around themselves. About Christmas m8 I know that you are going to feel like I did 20 + years ago when I was alone for my first Christmas and to make it worse I had just immigrated to a new country with zero friends. If you have family nearby who you can at least spend part of the day with, that I would imagine will help with the lonely feelings, if not go out and have a Christmas dinner somewhere new and make it a special occasion, if possible invite a friend or two. Life is what you make of it, don't let the past dictate who you are, I can see that you are a good man who had a few bumps in the road which you are and have overcome. Make the best version of yourself and live by that and everyone who wronged you will be envious of you. Ask me I know. You my friend are well on your way to a really happy future where you and your children will be absolutely proud and happy. Thanks for a great video and chat, Happy Birthday again. and if you don't have a video let me be one of the first to say Merry Christmas. God Bless
Happy Birthday fellow saggi. It’s my birthday tomorrow also, I will be 54..Turning your pain into positivity is hard but believe you will see the sun 🌞 shine again
Perspective isn’t it? I’m also 47 and would love to be 27 again (so would my back and knees lol). In 20 years I’ll be looking back wishing I was 47 again.
Hi Buddy, I’m in a very similar situation to you, although I’m not living in a van. However, I have lived in a van 5 years ago for 8 years and loved it. The thought has crossed my mind, but I now have a child and not sure. If you want to talk about things, PM me and I will give you my number. It’s always good to talk, it may help both of us even if it’s tips on van life or experiences. Anyway the offer is there if you want it. Don’t worry I’m not a weirdo. 😂
