Really depends on the outfit choices. I’ve traveled with up to 6 pairs of shoes because the outfits were so varied. But typically 2-3 pairs of shoes that go everywhere with me excluding workout shoes.

Sometimes, I tend to downplay my time in the military and the things I did. However, moments like going through post-military processes remind me of the impact of those experiences. For me, being an open book means sharing not just the challenges but the lessons and growth that came with them.

I agree with this so much!

I now feel everything has been touched by it. What gets me the most is reviews for well anything. I never know what to truly consider is real.

I’ll enjoy the less political nature for as long as possible but it will eventually find its way here as well just as you alluded lol
