I received a voice message from a Romanian lady in her forties, someone I've been discussing a potential collaboration with. I found the message quite intriguing, and I thought it would be interesting to share it here. Here's the transcript, unedited:
Hi, yeah, I've been busy all day, but now I'm at home. I read what you wrote me. The thing is, I don't know, as weird as it may sound, I don't want to work in that sense like I did before.
I mean, I was working with people and managing projects and stuff like that. Economy in construction and this kind of stuff, it will for sure suit me, this plan you have or the job you are thinking, because it's maybe very similar to what I did in my career before managing projects and startups and stuff. But I am some kind in another phase.
I don't know. I don't want to sound weird, but it's like I don't want to. I don't want to need the money.
I am trying to think about life from another perspective right now. Maybe it will change in time. It's possible, of course.
But now I am just trying to find a way to build a life without needing money monthly. Like I want to grow a garden and make sure that I have food for two persons. Maybe take care of some chickens or something.
Something easy. I want to be able to go when I need to go somewhere. I don't want to go anywhere.
I feel myself tired and done with traveling and stuff like that. But if I must, if I need to visit my family back in Constanta or I don't know, any kind of must. So I'm just trying to, with the money I have, I'm just trying to build myself some kind of assets.
But in that way that they will provide me with the basic needs. Because I want to reduce all the consumption to basic needs. I'm done with spending and consuming.
I just want to be. I just want to exist. I just want to have some peace and some freedom from networks and systems and that stuff.
So I renovated a small annex, like I told you, a small house in the yard here. And we are thinking if my parents don't want to come here and live with us, and they don't sound like that, so I don't think they will. We were thinking maybe rent it out and make some small money to pay the bills.
And now we are trying to reduce the bills as much as we can. It's like we only have the internet and the electricity. The electricity is like around 100 kilowatts per month.
Not even, maybe 90. Around 3 kilowatts per day we have right now. And this is like 50, 60, 70 lei per month.
And the internet, it's almost the same, like around 60 something. So the most money goes on the car right now, and the fuel for the car, but reparation of the car because we have a second-hand car. And we are like just buying food from the neighbors and eating really good food, like homegrown and stuff like that.
So when we finish with the renovations here, I think we will just focus on the garden. And the ideas will come after that, I suppose. I think I will find a way to win some more cash for the needs I have.
But I think that the key for me right now is to just reduce the needs, not making more money. I think if I am like quitting the job and trying to make a business and dedicate my time to something new, it's like the same shit, just different hat, if you get me. Like it's in the same race.
You are in the same mouse race trying to make a living. And I think that the key is the needs, like trying to discover what you need the money for. And it's of course very subjective and every person has his own needs and it's accordingly.
But for me right now, I just want to give myself the chance to breathe, to exist, to have time to think, to see what I really want, what I'm good at, what can I do to thrive in a way that's outside the box and different than what I thought before. So I had this dream to live in a community, not a community that I start, just a community that already exists and just finding a place there and just move there and just everything be like beautiful and all the people think like me and everything. But it's not that easy and it's very difficult to see if the people really think like you and if there are where you are, like with the ideas and with the values and the principles and so on.
So like I told you, I didn't find that kind of community and I'm not sure now anymore that it's so easy because as you told me yesterday, it's important to meet the people and see if they think like you, like who they are, if they have the same values, the same plans, to know, to get to know them and see after what is like the common principles to start and build something together with the people. And that implies a lot of work and right now I don't know if I am willing to put all that work in it. I am sure like in your place there, the land you have, if this would be suitable to build a community there, it would be awesome.
If you like really try to filter the people and to be sure that they are what you want, I'm sure that it would be like an awesome project. There are a lot of people searching for this. When I was searching, I found out that a lot of others were searching.
I don't know if they were all having the same ideas and principles, but they were searching. And I'm thinking more like permaculture stuff, I don't know. But just like taking care of that and that's all.
I reached the conclusion that for me and my partner, like two people, I don't know if we need more. Like of course if you are dreaming to see the world and travel around and buy expensive cars and clothes and go and eat in restaurants and spend your time in bars and clubs and stuff like that, yes, it's expensive and you need a lot of shit. But if not, I mean, I don't know.
I think that life, it's like, it's living and creating together, you know, with the nature and being yourself at ease there and being free and like, I don't know, discovering what is really important and just eliminate all the extras that are not even ours. It's just invented needs for us so we could consume and be slaves for money and working all life. So this is where I am right now.
And so I don't know, you think, with that being said, do you think it's something that would interest me? Because I don't want to waste your time and I don't want you to waste mine either. So it's important to have, from the beginning, very defined intentions and talk about this stuff.
