This is for many reasons, but mainly because I want to use it as a way to kind of 'rejuvenate' myself and just 'rest' at least for a while. You know, just live and 'be', without any obligations or responsibilities and everything for a while, like I said just to relax and rejuvenate my energies, at least for a while.
But I'm just not really sure or 100% confident on how that may turn out... I don't really prevail in the confidence area very well, so, I think the vast majority of this concern and uncertainty and fear, comes from just self-doubt and little confidence in myself, and being able to do something like this very well. I've been homeless before, at a much younger age even, and didn't even have a vehicle then like I do now, but I just like I said don't really have much faith in my ability to 'handle' it now.
Mainly because I want the freedom, the complete freeness and openness just living and being alive with no attachments, obligations, responsibilities etc. etc. But at the same time, I feel like knowing how I am and how my mind is, I'm going to still feel like I'm just wasting my life and time and being lazy and unproductive and all that kind of stuff. Kinda a paradoxical catch-22 I think...
I feel like the relationship maybe provides more structure and 'a life', and leaving out on my own especially like how I've explained, I feel like will not have much structure or meaning and productivity especially... My mind is so back and forth and conflicting with this stuff... I feel like I don't want structure and obligation and all that stuff, but at the same time, if I don't have it, then I'm so critical with myself feeling like I'm not being productive and wasting my life...

I would suggest starting off with a structure you can feel comfortable with & establish your confidence in yourself & getting comfortable with your abilities & being alone & being able to know you can handle things that come at you successfully.
People don't successfully "rejuvinate" when they constantly have new circumstances & situations being thrown at them to deal with. Get your confidence & stability established first. If you can successfully do that then you have a better chance in the long run of being successful in a "nomadic" lifestyle. Otherwise it will be like you are continually "running away" from anything that challenges you & that doesn't build confidence or stability in yourself.
The feeling of freedom comes from learning you can handle situations & responsibilities when they arise, not from running away from them. Establishing a small controlable life within your means can teach you a whole lot more, build confidence in yourself & be a whole lot more relaxing & more freeing in the long run. A lot easier to get into unwanted situations being homeless without confidence than building confidence in a more controlled situation where you can grow your confidence with continued successes. Use wisdom in making your choices & make choices that will build your success, not create failure
