Starting Over from Zero

I used to fear losing everything. The thought of being alone, broke, and starting from scratch used to paralyze me. So I clung to jobs I hated, relationships that drained me, and a version of myself that felt like a prison.

Everyone’s so scared of hitting rock bottom, but let me tell you, starting over from zero is the most underrated flex of all time. No baggage, no dead weight, no expectations. Just pure, raw potential.

People will pity you, underestimate you, maybe even laugh. Let them. They have no idea how powerful it is to rebuild without limits. No one can hold you to who you were. You decide who you become.

My old life burned to the ground last year. No job, savings gone, no safety net. But people don't talk enough about what else you lose - toxic family gone, fake friends gone, the weight of expectations gone. The version of me that played small to make others comfortable? Gone.

When you have nothing left to lose, you become dangerous. You stop living life on autopilot and finally start making decisions that serve you.

I don’t fear losing everything anymore. I fear staying the same.

My choice of word would be Courageous and not dangerous. Unless you meant dangerous to oneself, which I think you didn't.

I did that 12 years back and have come a long way. Destroyed my comfort zones that make you relax and make you complacent, so there is no escape. And now ready to take on the world by storm.

@exchrist Sometimes it feels like life keeps knocking you down, and the shit just keeps piling on. But you’re still here. That’s huge. The fact that your family was there, that’s a blessing. I wish it were like that for me, truly.

@Eglectic sometimes we are required to make our own family. Do you have ppl you can rely on?

Good luck on your positive evolution.

And I am happy that you possess survival skills that way too many people lack.

What do you really need? A safe place to sleep, a place to shower, to poop. Clothes, Food, exercise. Medical care. Someplace to put your stuff, to call home.
Can you do all of that from a Van? Yes, pretty much. The money you save from renting can eventually go into the down-payment for an apartment. Get a large enough one so you can rent out the other rooms in it. Now you have a positive income.
