I've met so many great people along the way.

Ever since i came back,what i regard to as home some four years ago, i got really depressed, relations never worked out, i even got fired one time for fixing a technical problem on my own, because this was not allowed within company rules, the fact that i saved my employer half a million, by taking action, the way i did was ignored, so i even got up to i point i really didn't trust myselves into doing anything, properly, not even replacing an, innertube on a bycicle .

The loyalty i've experienced out on the road just isn't there.

I have some friends from the militairy that experience the same.

Now i find it hard to imagine, that i used to repair my own semi tractor in minus 40, somewhere in Canada the US or Europe,or completely rewire the the smoked up electric cables on my Tenere, some where in New Foundland.

Or so much other stuff i can look back at, now that i am reprogrammed again, for normal live as i look at this myself.

There's no one to share your story's with i find which makes normal life so difficult, so now i've stuffed all my belongings into storage and getting ready to be out traveling again, on a motorcycle, my energy, self confidence, and just joy of getting up is gradually coming back.
So not sure, if this is just me, or more people that think like me, if a normal or regarded to as a normal life, people dedicating themselves to just consumerism is really the way to go.

Or should the majority like us all be out there, like nomads, helping each other and others out, when help is needed,and staying away from swamping ourself in materialism as much as we can?

I'm glad i'm not the only one suffering from this, Aloha!
