I just moved up here to Colorado from Texarkana 3 months ago. Texarkana is a complete shit-hole. Sure, I had plenty of friends, jobs etc, there but I wouldn't piss on that place if it were on fire.
I tried to make the best of that place. I tried for 7 years and I got fed up with it. Every gf I had there lied to me, stole from me and all but 2 cheated on me. I was too nice to them and they took advantage of me, playing on my emotions. Most, but not all, of the people who I thought were my friends simply manipulated me and I caught on to it. At what point does it become "being too nice"? Is it true that "nice guys finish last"? It was in this case atleast. That place is run down and over populated. Most of the over population is from the hurricane victims from southern Louisiana. Sure, its not their fault a hurricane hit them, but they failed to realize that there are far greater places than Texarkana.
Since I've moved up here to Colorado, I have made 3 friends. One is a drill seargent in the army, one is a guy who just came from S. Korea and the third is a woman my age that makes music like I do. I am having to keep my guard up due to emotional scars from the past, but I have to be careful not to let my being on guard shut me out socially or make me paraniod. Since I made it up here and things are going well, I think things will finally smooth out for me. For the first time in 7 years I can laugh, smile and be happy. Being oppressed for 7 years made me forget how nice it felt to be happy and I don't plan on letting it go. And just a word of the wise, if you ever travel east through Texas, either drive around Texarkana or fly. Don't let yourself get trapped in that hell-hole. Nothing comes from that place but misery. If you don't believe me, ask the citizens of that town yourself. They will tell you themselves, that no one likes that town.
