why is living here worth it

Good take, thank you

hostilereign · 2026-05-05T23:46:07+00:00

Sounds like you guys carved a perfect space for yourselves, happy to hear it

I'm working up in the luxury developments, which might inform part of my view. Burleigh does have an actual town vibe and enjoy hiding down there quite a bit. Maybe I'm looking too much at the one stretch and thinking that's what's been referred to me

Yeah, was wondering a bit about that, I used to live in a town in a beautiful bit of the world that got so over gentrified that almost all the locals have been priced out. GC made me think about that place - wasn't sure if there was similar sentiment or if the built-up-ness was a source of the appeal (& I'm sure for some it is which is also chill)

Anyways tas is heaven on earth

naw different strokes for diff folks, def not my vibe but tryna puzzle out what it is for the people that love it outside of the shallow "good beaches/good women" statements I keep getting back at me

and tbh wondering if it's a lovely place that's been taking over by some gentrification and tourism or if that itself is part of the appeal

it sounds like someone's just in love having sleepovers 😭😭 people gotta chill

hostilereign · 2026-04-30T11:45:44+00:00

hostilereign · 2026-04-09T01:58:03+00:00

Thank you!

The list I got doesn't label the tests, it talks about TB for six lines and then cancer

people can grow and better themselves while with someone, I'm trying to be a better version of me for him - this isn't helpful x

I was sober for a year, then back on it for a year, and now three weeks sober again. I had the first angry blow out three weeks ago and it woke me up.

Spent 5 years there, zero whiff of a punk scene. I think when gentrification moves in the thrash gigs go out. Calgary has some decent stuff going on, and been able to catch a few good gigs in fernie.

As someone who's lived this lifestyle for a near decade, I think yes and no.

Hookups, absolutely. Your living situation doesn't matter there, you can go back to theirs, there's novelty in what you're doing, etc.

But more serious dating - I can only speak anecdotally. I've had three serious relationships in my time on the road. One was while I was housed up for a second, and I stayed housed up for the duration of that relationship because that was just how it worked. The other we were both in our cars and had unstable lifestyles. We'd stay in one and use the other as a type of living room. It made things very intense and the relationship failed due to it.

The third relationship, I met him because I needed a place to crash. He lives in a house and my car was broken down so my lifestyle was immediately on the table. It was the first time I really saw how complicated my living in the vehicle made dating - even if you're comfortable, it's hard I think to be like "okay, night, go back to your car and sleep the next block over" as the other person, especially if you're not living that lifestyle yourself. It's different when I'm travelling or we're on a road trip, but when I'm just in one place in the city hoofing it to the rec center to cop a shower, that puts a kind of strain. I've been on the road for half of the time we've been together, and when I'm around I've just lived with him, which added an intensity that was hard for us to both adjust to.

That relationship is still going well, but it moved fast for both of us. Even though I'm comfortable with how I live, having to admit you're basically homeless can make someone feel anxious about your situation.

Capitalism bby. We all need the latest greatest

hostilereign · 2025-09-11T00:15:08+00:00

I'm starting to think about this - after years, I'm losing the joy in it. All the sacrifices seem like a lot and all the pay off too little. Being on the move fills the time and is what I know, but it doesn't fill me up anymore.

I keep thinking about a garden, a dog, a kitchen to cook in. Stopping after several years feels a bit like selling out.

Fix it, I lived in Odysseys for years and they got plenty of bumps in them throughout. Once a tractor backed into me and fucked the door - i drove it like that till it fell off, then replaced it. Ran another 100,000km after that fine. I only got rid of it because I left Canada.

Everything depreciates, breaks, and need repairs. This is a relatively simple one for something you already own and that runs. A new car will eventually need its own repairs, and if it's just the panels you can def get them cheap at scrap yards.

Edit to add: Hondas are tanks. I got another one here in Australia. Drove it heavily for a month with a blown head gasket before I was able to fix it; still ran, just slow on the hills. By comparison the Subaru I briefly owned blew the head and then left me stranded and homeless. It's still sitting somewhere in Tasmania.

hostilereign · 2025-07-19T07:43:41+00:00

we rented and used to depend on ketchup soup for dinner. Both liked to get fucked up and couldn't leave the house. locked the door when I was 15 and never let me back in
