Okay, todays uplifting entry...
You are not what you thought you would be when you were young. Neither is anyone else. You've compromised on your dreams. So has everyone else. Whatever you're feeling, it's been felt before. By everyone else. Your life can end today. So can everyone else's. Worst of all, you are not who you think you are. Whatever you think your limits are, where you draw your lines, you go further; don't start patting your back, because that means you are a much worse person than you ever feared you could be.
I'm not being melodramatic, and I'm not exaggerating. I don't expect you to believe any of that, and unless you have the same kind of nightmares I have, don't tell me you can understand. I've carried too many dead friends off of battlefields in Iraq. I've been blown up. I've fired a machine gun at women and children, on purpose. In the same circumstance, I would do it again. Happy New Year!
