Smart.

Thankyou for saying that. I'm still sober. November 1st this year will be 3 years. Friends have always came and went for me since I could walk. It honestly terrifies me trying to make a new friend. History tends to repeat itself with me.

Yes. When I moved into a school bus with my wife back in 2016 was when everything changed. I stopped doing what everyone else wanted me to do and it just didn't fit the narrative. That trend continued with going vegan, then quitting my job and going fully independent, then quitting alcohol. Every single one of these decisions pushed me farther and farther from people who I thought were my friends. I found my true self as time progressed with these decisions and I couldn't really relate to people anymore. The guy who got me onto this told me that I won't be able to relate to most truck drivers anymore bc I won't have a boss. I have found this to be very true. It seemed the one thing we all could relate to when I was a company guy was how bad work sucked and how much we hated management. I obviously don't have that anymore. I'm just not around people enough anymore to form friendships either. I prefer that though. There was so much pressure I put on myself when I was an employee to hang out with some of my co-workers. I put that on myself. I was just bad about saying no. I still struggle with saying no but it's not with people I dislike. I just hang out with family now and that's different.

Yes. It definitely has and I prefer it at this point.

Yeah. I was excluding family from the video. I was only talking about friends who aren't family.

Yes. It's what is best for me and my wife. Less people = Less drama and stress. I wish it didn't have to be that way, but I have multiple good reasons.

Yeah, your own mind can be your worst enemy at times trying to make things easy for itself. I've had to fight that my entire life, and it's always been worth it. I try to always perceive things as they seek to be rather than how I seek them to be and it really let's me know exactly where I stand.

Appreciate that brother. Life is full of struggles for sure, but I'm figuring it out and finding my way. It took a while, but better late than never.

Good to hear from a trucky on the other side of the world. Sweet rig btw. I love KW's. I bet she's a beast. The bumper up front is huge! Love the 2 snorkels way up in the air for taking in air. Looks like a truck from Mad Max. They don't sell trucks over here like I see you all driving. Of course, you all pull a lot more weight. I've pulled 3 trailers that were 28' each and 2 trailers that were 48' and that was enough for me.

@@aftersolo Yeah She is a KW T909 600hp similar to your W900 but a bit taller. I've got a Drake 4x8 Swing-wing trailer in my workshop which I have completely rebuilt, sandblasted and painted. Next job is to fit brake boosters, slack adjusters etc. Am waiting for my brake shoes to be relined, but hopefully she will be back on the road soon
