I know exactly what you mean!!! From our first steps of "not having a TV" to others of moving into an old trailer by choice, we have been criticized and stigmatized probably more than we know. But that's okay! Those who are not awake, or in denial, can only respond with disagreement... if they agreed, then they would be in an awkward situation of knowing better but still doing the same thing. :-)
Bring your hopes, dreams, and aspirations to us, your Steemit Family! I for one will support you!
Moving into a yurt--ok! Digging an underground home by hand--awesome! Selling all your possessions and living in a van down by the river--say hi to Matt for me!
Point is... I've found those who cast judgement are usually jealous for one reason or another. Live YOUR LIFE.
Your wonderful comment literally made me cry. You epitomises the community @wholesomeroots talks about too.
It's so good to know there are people who get it, and not just that but who are pursuing a similar life.
