I have been sober from cannabis for over 2 months! It doesn't seem like a very big deal now, but 2 months ago, even going a couple days seemed scary. Well, sobriety right now is not really concerning to me whatsoever.

Today I am packing up my things from my apartment I've been living in for over 3 years. I am moving into... my car. Due to the ever rising cost of rent and housing, I am taking the plunge and attempting to live in my small car to escape the financial burden of housing. I am lucky in the fact that I am doing this by choice, while I can technically still afford to rent an apartment, it takes up an enourmous amount of my monthly income.

I am definitely not fully prepared for this gigantic change, it is coming a little sooner than I was expecting - but the day has come. I am writing this while lounging on my matress - mere hours before I pack it up and store it along with my other belongings. Most of my things will not fit in my car, there is really only space for absolute essentials.

Am I ready - no. Is this stupid - probably. Will I last - maybe.
