i asked myself the question with increasing intensity starting around 2018. Which is why we are here.

The one thing i would change is that i would have looked for stronger freedom community.

I was eyeing Lebanon, Tennessee or the Ozarks. (Since 2008 actually)

We stayed here because: 1. i got married. 2. my wife could not bring herself to leave family. I dont blame her. And she was right to stay. But it has made the community part harder.
