Brothers. This word is priceless to me. I have many brothers, but only one blood brother. That doesn’t mean my other brothers aren’t of importance or anything. I have my brothers in A-Squad. Then my Marines. I may not have as well of connection to my blood family as others, but I do have these guys to call family also. I’m blessed to have these people as my family. I’ll protect my family with my life at all times. My two main families are A-Squad and my Marines. But of course my sisters are a given. Thank you God for blessing me with such a great surrounding.
I’m going through a change in life. Personality wise, I’m not going to be the person that everyone likes. I’m kind of tired of being accepted and liked by everyone I meet. Not to be conceited, but everywhere I go, people tend to like my personality because I always wanted to help people. But now, that’s not who I want to be anymore. It might sound crazy, but I am very tired of being everyone’s friend. I don’t want to be the person that listens to people’s problems. I’m done being that. I’m done being the person that people call for emergency problems. I’m done always being there, whether it’s to a stranger or friends.
I don’t know whether if this change originated from bootcamp or what but it’s something. They pound in your head that no one cares. And it’s true, even if you yourself care, it doesn’t matter. All that really matters is getting the objective completed. Whether it’s getting errands done or training, the only thing that people care about is getting things done. But yeah, I’m going through a change in life. Whether it betters or worsen my life, it’s a road I’m going to go down. Bottom line is, I’m done caring about other people’s problems. Depressing stuff huh?
This time leaving is a lot different from when I first left. Before basic training when I left, I told them it’d be just three months. This time it’s half a year or more. I spent most of my time with my friends that I won’t be able to see. When I came back I really felt missed by the people that I had connection one on one with. I’ll really miss the ones I spent time with more than the first time I was gone. Thank you God for blessing me with such great people in my life. To the ones that are in my life, take care of yourselves.
