i know what i am going to do - and this isnt like the other times i laid out a path for my life, because this is not so much a path as it is...a way of life, that i have come to realize is what i need to do.
im gonna live in the woods, in a house i find abandoned (fairbanks?) or one i build myself. i know i am fully capable of that - its in any humans nature to know how to surround themselves with shelter and confort and security. Im going to grow my own food, and if that means i have to learn how to raise chickens and shit, ill do it. Im already learning how to garden this summer - any classes i take from here on out will be either to further my knowledge of basic survival, or to expand my mind in helpful/productive ways, or art. fuck everything else. Ive heard of so many people doing this, and surviving it, and gaining incredible knowledge from it. I know that the wilderness is dissappearing, but that only means i will have to find a place that is completely isolated from society, with no chance of future development.
Solar power/wind power are easy to harness with the technology we have today, so i could produce enough electricity to power a working toilet/hot water/shower system.
I think talking to pokeys what made me wanna go through with it - he did it and he said it was the best time hes had in his whole life... i know what my best time has been and, let me tell you, if i die with that being the most fulfilling thing in my life, than i was not worthy to live in the first place - this is what i need
i am sick of societys bullshit -
i have a feeling its gonna take some years of planning to find a place, and figure out how to harness solar/wind power and have a running water system, but i know i can do it, cause i can already see myself doing it..
you know... i wish someone would come with me though.. so i would have someone to talk to.. or just someone whos on the same wavelength as me - so far i think thats only a few people ive met...
