What is The Modern American Dream, considering the previous phrase's ever so diminishing accessibility due to ever changing impactful world events? I believe the modern American Dream is the evolution of a term once so common in the land we live in and refer to as North America. It's no uncommon known fact that the recent events that have unfolded from the notorious Coronavirus pandemic have sent us yet into another economic recession; affecting not only us as citizens today but quite possibly generations to come. So what then, if it is true that luxuries that were once not deemed such a word, are we to do if we can't at the very least afford something so seemingly simple as a house to abide in and rest our weary legs? Perhaps the definition of a home in it's entirety has changed in the matter of a few years. It floods the pages of your cellphone screen. It's everywhere. The Van Life. I love it and hate it at the same time. Somebody else, living my dream life, right before my eyes; or at least what used to be a dream to me. Having lived the dream for the past couple of years my mind has only begun to be opened to a world hidden within our own, occupied by what we'd refer to as nomads in the past; now for the most part regular people like you and I. What is this lifestyle, and what brought us to a point where living in a crammed vehicle was not just trendy but necessary?
