Escape the Illusion

Escape the Illusion

In a world painted with filters and glow,
Van life captivates with a charismatic show,
But behind the lens, reality exposes its strife,
Unveiling a truth far removed from Instagram life.

No dreamy landscapes or picturesque shores,
Just cramped quarters and tedious chores,
The gritty side of van life’s revealed,
Where simplicity and solitude are eerily sealed.

Parking lots replace scenic vistas in their quest,
And meals are cooked on a portable, weary chest,
Cold showers and tight spaces become routine,
As freedom’s boundaries confine too keen.

Yet amidst the struggles and rugged terrain,
Van lifers find solace in harmony’s reign,
Unshackled from society’s relentless demands,
They build a home wherever they lay their hands.

So let’s not be swayed by filtered deception,
For van life’s true essence defies misconception,
A journey anchored in resilience and strife,
It’s the reality behind the van life.
