I've talked to you all about my divorce previously (15 years, wife decided she wanted to leave as soon as she graduated and got her degree after I supported her and worked multiple jobs).
She's officially moving out in two weeks. Then, my lease ends in just five weeks.
Landlord already told me they're going to be selling the home and also raising rent nearly 40% if I wanted to stay. Can't afford it. Have no where to go.
Going to transition to being a 'nomad', selling the remaining few things I own, and just bouncing from airbnb to airbnb along with camping. I figured this would be a good opportunity for me to get out, travel, visit national parks, kayak, camp, fish, see the US and get my mind off everything. It's not stable. But I can't find anything. Everywhere requires "3x income" or some ridiculous score that I don't have.
Anyway. Not sure why I'm posting this here. Guess I just wanted to share with you all since I never did give any updates from my previous posts about "what should I do?"
So, really, for me, the storm is here. And the "build back better" now makes so much sense in my personal life. Weird that now I now have to suddenly build my life back. I've completely lost my identity.
No clue where this road is going to take me. But it's either 'get busy living or get busy dying.'
Say a few prayers for me. God has been good to me recently and has gotten me into the 'acceptance' phase of all this.
Edit: By the way, if anyone wants to give me a follow over on X, I'll be documenting all of my journeys. Hoping to one day get some camera gear and a drone and film everything. Might make some personal podcasts and documenting my testimony. Maybe it'll help someone in the future. https://twitter.com/@thinktankfranks
Many of us are at similar points.
It’s hard. The mental stress of trying to stay afloat is getting to me but I use this forum to shit post and make life a little better. I did the air bnb nomad thing myself. Also had a friend who self ‘deleted’. It’s better to reach out than think no one cares. We all do, but what can we do right now asides from saying thanks for sharing. Only Jesus Christ salvation last forever. Not evil.
Trumps first book talked about his bankruptcy. He talked about how the things that worked and didn’t work . We will rebuild. Remember what worked for you, who was there for you and rebuild on that. Trumps fortunes skyrocket cause he realized not everyone in his life was there for Don. They were there for TRUMP.
He also said to win big, you have to learn how to lose. And dammit, we’ve been losing a lot. But what you learn here will bring better fortunes. Our president is a leader. He didn’t lead us astray, but let’s be honest. As men in the west , we all got a little soft and needed this kick in the ass. Stay safe anon.

Wow that's such a good point about our President.
And you're so right ... we do have to learn how to lose. it's very biblical too. It's a form of refining. As the Bible says, I counsel you to buy me gold refined in the furnace. We are like a sword being forged - it is poured, hammered, and beaten on until it is made perfect.
Shit posting is a great point! This forum alongside X has really given me some form of sanity. Making memes, posting whatever I want ... researching topics. Been going into a lot of X spaces, too. I have found those to be a nice place for community.
