So a friend of mine and I are making plans to hang out tomorrow and I was trying to juggle the logistics of work with us planning to go out of town and she said “No offense but I don’t necessarily wanna leave my car at your apartment. We could drive my car?” I understand she meant no offense by it, but I guess it kinda extenuated the circumstanantial gap between us and I did feel a little offended by it. Yeah, if I was an only child and a nurse I could afford to live in a great area too. As it is I’m self employed so I live in a decent area and own a gun 😂 I hate parking my new truck in this shit hole too, but it's where I live so idk how to feel about it. I guess I just feel less than because I don't live in the best area and that hinders my self esteem. Then I feel embarrassed about having people over. Parts of me says flip the script and say “this is my little world and people are welcome by invitation only,” the other part says “yeah it’s a shithole, work harder and get some place better,” the other part says, “before you moved here you thought you could never afford to live here, now you’ve got 3 months left on your lease, you did it! You afforded it! Be proud of that, and just because it’s not good enough for everyone doesn't mean it’s not good enough for you.” I’ve lived out of a truck before, so having a place, even if it’s a no go zone for yuppies is a step up I think?

Hello everyone. I’m still figuring this whole thing out, but my goal is to create a place that brings our community together where we can share ideas, experiences, and events in one place. Eventually I would like to start planning reunions, ruck marches, cookouts and anything else at different locations throughout Texas at different times of the year. I know we are all spread out and have different schedules but the more we do the more opportunities people will have to attend. Please feel free to share any ideas you may have or to reach out if you need anything or just want to talk. We are all here for each other.
