Am I just too wild?

Not like "wilding out" doing dumb things or clubbing or drinking and drugs, or just no morals...just too wild in spirit. I never gave this much thought until I was stripped from everything and thrown away. I can't stand being a homebody, or staying in one place for too long, or "settling down" to raising a family, getting into politics and trying to compete with everything going on right now.I'm not happy trying to fit in the system or society norms or trying to be somebody in an unforgiving economy just to survive a world we (as in man-made) created. I'm troubled by it because I can't fit in. Sure, one could adapt, not saying I never did or tried...but it's not the life I want. I'm happier having all that I own fit in a backpack and just having a space to be away from all these electronics and learning/living in a world around me in the outdoors. Because reality is, we don't "own" anything and the man made stuff isn't forever. It either gets passed on or is devalued or trashed, or even sized by someone or a governing body in the end of it. Reality doesn't care about that. For example, I love history and I can tell you that most of the land the town I live close to was owned by a German immigrant back in the mid 1800's like 1846 if I recall correctly. 342 acres or something like that. Personal property that was eventually taken piece by piece to develop a township after the caretakers were massacred by the Apache in the region. All that's left now is the old cabin on a hill from that time and everything else is overly developed. Even further, where I live and the surrounding area before it was settled by immigrants, was home to all the wildlife and Indian tribe(s) that lived there. Anyways, my viewpoint and understanding, and just who I am, I guess it makes me more of a "wild" person that others have trouble keeping up with you know?
I don't care if I am rich because I rather live humble. I don't care about if I have a highly reputable career because nobody's gonna care who I was or even know my name a few generations in the future. I don't care if I live alone because my lifestyle isn't about pride, convenience, or anything about raising a family that majority of people would want. I do care about being able to make some sort of a living so I can have permission by the world today to live my life in peace among nature or nomadically on the road...and I care about preserving history because it's fascinating and lifetimes of knowledge that people don't know that could come in handy when the country takes an unwilling hard reset like when the Roman Empire fell. It's just been hard lately. The stress of having to compete with things now after taking a huge fall from where I've been, the fact I don't fit in because I'm just a survivalist and nomadic at heart, and people don't care about those things anymore so I don't relate to anyone... it's a long and lonely road...so I may just be too wild.

If you made it this far. I'm sorry for the long vent. Here's a picture from my adventures.

That is a massive paragraph (Tldr all of it). Fuck fitting in, dare to be different. People might reject you for it, the road ahead might be rough, but if you lose who you are to please others then you'll lose your soul and your essence.. that is a miserable existence.
