Hanging Out on the Outside

Back when I was on the outside living in Fort Worth one of my favorite things to do was to hang out at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens or the Kimball Art Museum lawn. After I got out of classes at around 12:30 I would drive to TCU to eat lunch with C. If she didn't have classes in the afternoon we would either go back to her dorm room to watch a movie, do crossword puzzles, or study, or we would head to the Botanic Gardens or to the Kimball with a blanket and a soccer ball or Frisbee to play, study, or just relax under the big shade trees.

I really miss spending time with friends, no matter the location. Here I spend all my day with people I probably would have never met, much less been friends with. I wasn't into the drug scene that most of these guys fell into. I find myself blessed to come from the background that I have come from. I can't wait to get back to hanging out with my friends over a board game, video game, coffee, meal, study session, or just a good conversation. That's what 's been hard to find here.
