a helmet for my pillow
I have always been fascinated by the men and women that go to war. They are only human, not even close to superheroes, and still they manage to muster up massive proportions of strength and courage. They fight and overcome. I have always wondered if I might be like them.
A few years ago this idea started to grow inside me. Was I good enough? Brave enough? I have tried to get into the Swedish army two times and both times I got shot down. This has only made me more convinced that this is what I wanna do. The thing is, they know nothing about me or my story. What they know consists of boxes I ticked in a test. I am not boxes in a test, I am a human being who will not let the "wrong" answers stand in my way. I have appealed their decision and I am now waiting for their answer.
Mabe this is stupid according to other people, but I have honestly stopped caring. Great people get their ideas rejected all the time, but what makes them great is the fact that they don't give up until they succeed. I refuse to be anything less.
In the mean time, all my life seems to be about is training, reading and breathing the army. I am truly fascinated by and engulfed in the many stories and destinies portrayed in movies and fiction.
Have a great D-Day. Remember those who fought so that you don't have to.
