Get Out of My Network

I changed my network on Facebook. I had to change it to Tulsa. Otherwise I felt like I was lying to facebook.

Okay technically I have been lying to everyone for six months. My network used to be Dallas, but I didn't live in Dallas.

I didn't realize it would make such a big difference until people kept messaging me saying "hey we should hang out" and I'm like "K I'll be right over."

I was living in Ardmore. Okay, the cat is out of the friggin bag people.

I WAS LIVING IN ARDMORE!!.

Now that I am out of there. I can feel free to admit that. My friends were driving through town a few weeks ago to pick me up. They got to my house and called me. First thing they said was "Pop Quiz Sarah!" ..."What state do you live in?"

I live in Oklahoma. I haven't moved out of the state.

They said I used to say...."Oh you are driving through Dallas, well you should stop by." I was in denial.

So, I changed my network to Tulsa. I'm feeling good about it. I'm not lying anymore. People can now message me and say "how's Tulsa?" and I don't have to think in the back of my head...."I wish I knew" like I did with Dallas.

But at the end of the day, does it really matter what network I am in? Does it really change anything? Isn't the point of a network to be in touch with people? Can't we do that outside our network? If I had changed my network to Dubai would people really considered not keeping in touch...."Oh Dubai...that's a bit out of my network."

I would hope not. So, Tulsa it is. And I invite anyone in the tri-state area networks to contact me to go out. I feel confident I can handle the rejection of not being in the Dallas network anymore...even though geographically I was never really "there" in the first place.

And to avoid any further discrepancies, I actually live in Broken Arrow.

There I said it.
