A short first-person monologue (YouTube) by Misty Tripoli describing living alone off-grid in the Mexican jungle. The speaker calls the experience "heaven," emphasizes safety despite critters and rainy-season mosquitoes, and contrasts calm daily life with the chaotic outside world accessed only through turning on a phone and doom-scrolling.
Still is crazy how much I get asked, is it scary to live alone in the jungle by yourself? Aren't you worried about the things and the things and being in Mexico and the things about being in Mexico? Like, aren't you scared? No, not at all. It's absolute heaven living alone right now. It's rainy season, so there's a lot of mosquitoes, more than normal, but you know, it's manageable. And no, it's not scary to live alone in the jungle. It's heaven. It's heaven to be away from all of the bullshit and all of the chaos, you know, I realized the only way it exists for me is when I turn my phone on and do doom scrolling. If I don't turn my phone on, I have no idea what's going on in the world. And I wonder if it's the same for you. The only way that we know anything is when we turn our phones on and then how much of what we see can we actually believe? Yeah, so yeah, it's great. No, I'm not scared. There's nothing to be afraid of out here. There's lots of critters and crawlies and things and, you know, But I've lived out here for four years now, going on my fifth year, and safe. I'm so safe. There's nothing and nobody out here and it's awesome.
