My Story
Life is more than just work—it’s shaped by the passions that drive us, the hobbies that challenge us, and the pursuits that make us whole.
About Me
My name is Robby Lowe, and I’m 45 years old, born and raised in Lawton, Oklahoma—right near the beautiful Wichita Mountains in the southwestern part of the state. My faith as a born-again Christian shapes how I see the world and guides me through life’s ups and downs.
Right now, I’m working at Staples. It’s not exactly where I imagined I’d be at this stage of life, but I’ve learned that sometimes the path we’re on teaches us more than the destination we planned. With the way the economy and job market have shifted over the years, I’m focusing on making the best of where I am, learning from past mistakes, and staying grateful for steady work.
Back in September 2010, I took a leap of faith and moved to Orlando, Florida. I thought I was going to take on the world, but honestly, the world taught me a whole lot more than I expected. That adventure showed me what people across this country are really going through, gave me a deeper respect for the journey we’re all on, and helped me realize something important: life isn’t as hard as we make it out to be—unless we make it hard on ourselves.
“Life isn’t as hard as we make it out to be—unless we make it hard on ourselves.”
These days, you’ll find me enjoying simple pleasures: playing chess, hiking through the Wichita Mountains (seriously, if you’ve never been, it’s stunning), reading, writing, watching baseball and college football, cooking my own meals, and getting involved with church events when I can. I’m just trying to live life to the best of my ability.

Dreams and Realities
I’ve always had dreams tucked away in my heart. I’d love to write a book about American history from a fictional perspective, visit Branson, Missouri during Christmas to experience Silver Dollar City all lit up for the holidays, catch a live show at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium, or spend time in Boston and Washington D.C., soaking in the history of this great nation.
In 2019, life threw me a curveball when I was diagnosed with Dissociative Seizures—a condition triggered by stress and anxiety. Since then, I’ve had to be more careful about traveling too far from home. I usually stick close to Lawton or occasionally venture to Oklahoma City, especially since staying near family and coworkers helps me afford my medication and have the support I need. But I haven’t given up on those dreams. If the right opportunity—or the right person—came along, I’d be ready to explore again.
What I’ve Learned
For a long time, I looked at life through a lens of frustration, thinking things were unfair whenever they didn’t go my way. But I’ve come to understand that life isn’t about fairness—it’s about lessons. It’s about learning from our mistakes and doing our best not to repeat them. That’s part of being human. None of us have it all figured out, and that’s okay. That’s the beauty of grace.
As the days go by, I’m maturing, healing, and slowly repairing the parts of my life that need fixing. What’s next? Only God knows. But I’m working on becoming someone I can believe in again—one day, one choice, one step at a time.
