    Hi Lydia, This is one of the best videos that I've watched from this channel, Lydia. Exceptional content. I always appreciate that you don't disclose our locations. Thank you! Btw I'm parked two spots away from you, I hope you don't mind lol :-)

    Skip the husband and kids. Too many people crowding this small planet anyways. Happiness MUST come from within. Just be yourself, not what society expects from you.

    Lidia, I love your videos. I recently lost my dad and am taking care of my mother, which I have no regrets. The times that say you're down and fixed the problem. Shows the rest of us that it can be done. And be done alone with out a spouse.

    Oh my goodness. I had no idea to the extent of which this had all happened. I followed you for a bit and remembered a number of losses you endured but did not know he had taken his own life. I am so sorry you have had to have all of this in your experience. I know what you mean about starting over. For 3 years I was with my husband and he was battling terminal cancer. My husband had passed away last year and it has been so crazy coming back to reality and finding myself all over again. I definitely resonate deeply with your story. I’ve been experiencing a lot of PTSD over the last year but still moving along well

    Lidia Prayers -Best Wishes Forward my sincerist condolences. Mental health is very real and destructive force when not properly diagnosed and treated.. You're doing yourself and others a great service of sharing your story, while freeing yourself as well, take all the time you need, the way you need, it's never too much, however always better outward than inwards.. I'm enjoying your work, continue as long as you see necessary, but do live, thrive and enjoy life in the free world, never taking a moment for granted! Peace🎉😊😊😊

    you decided to vanlife in the most authoritarian state in America. In CA - you are not a "citizen". OH no . . . YOU ARE THE PEASANT. THE Tax base off which the government creates its 1-party monopoly. COPS are more corrupt than the gangs and cartels. In case you didn't know.

    I met people who lived amazing lives and they wouldn't change anything I also met people who spend there lives working away paying off a house and bills and in the end they all said wasn't worth it a lofe worth lived isn't a life worth living even if it's a nest egg or retirement. I'd rather have a memory bank full of good memories and experience instead of a bank full of what ifs and wishes and money.

    Those who can’t afford rent should be able to shelter in their vehicle. It is better for all concerned than sleeping on the street.

    It absolutely a recession in our economy. I wish I had a van to live in sometimes because I work virtually anyway so coffee shops could be where I get all my work done instead of renting my house. Plus I can see so many new spots. But my current bills take too much of my money to get a new van or used one lol

    How you described harassment for living in a vehicle really frustrates me. You have a means to shelter and move, and the tickets...Are they ticketing homeless not bothering anyone? You described how hard it is to live comfortably with a means to save, and youre doing so. It really makes no sense how they harass people when most cant afford a conventional dwelling. Such a sick reality.

    Well first off I've been watching your videos for a while now and you are awesome! Always remember that! I'm so sorry for what you have gone through! I lost my Dad also he was 56..It was the hardest thing I had ever dealt with! People that say just move on perhaps weren't as close to their Dad I don't know, but I was very close to mine! I miss him still and it's been years.. God bless you and all your endeavors! I will keep you in my prayers!❤️

    I’m just going to be honest. You are so cute and likeable that I think you could find a good man who would be happy to have you in his life and would be willing help you out at the very least. What I mean to say really is that I am a successful 39 year old man and if I were single and wasn’t already happily married with a wife and kids, I would definitely reach out to you and want to get to know you better! You will not be alone for long.
