A letter to me
Dear Myself,
Here we go again, hm? This time for real. This time there's no turning back. This time it's goodbye forever. Goodbye to the life you knew and the friends you've had. Goodbye to the people you trust and the normalities of life. It's no longer the time for immaturity or for disrespect. It's time to own up to the vow you took in that small office and face the fact, you're in the Military. Taking on a large charge, a new life, and a career few will ever know. Hawaii, never been there. It's the West coast, so much different from the East coast. No longer the little country boy standing out amongst the rest as they look in awe at how easily I handle my life. No more breaking down inside and noone to hear me scream. I wave to you now, knowing that deep in my heart i'm about to say goodbye. I've known you for 19 years and all it has come down to is goodbye. Visting the world for a living was never my dream. I found friends and family I loved and wanted nothing more than to stay with them. Now it's time to man up and take on the responsibility i've thrusted away for so long. Rationality is now out of the question and courage is a must. My world is going to change on the 25APR08 - It will be the day I am at sea for the next 18 1/2 years. Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life, self, and may it be something most enjoyable. Learn from what you've never known and keep to yourself your snide comments and rude gestures. It's time to grow up - It's time to man up - most importantly it's about time you find who you are inside and stop trying to be who everyone else wants you to be on the outside.
Sincerly,
Myself
