Thanks Kevin for the kind words. And let’s not forget those damn generators! Haha! There are some truly wonderful days out here, but there are also a good handful that suck. I think an honest assessment of life in general is due. Like you say, the social media hype machine can be a dangerous and slippery slope for folks at times.

You are right that YouTube makes it feel fabulous, but I think that is all part of the Social Media hype machine. Look on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc. and everyone is having a great life. Why aren’t you?

They don’t show the doctor’s appointments, the problems with a flat tire on the camper in the middle of nowhere, or being woken up late at night due to prowlers (animal or human). Folks don’t show their daily struggles with their pictures, or the fact that they aren’t happy 85% of the time.

The result is everyone is envious, but if they knew the real story, they wouldn’t be.
