For Me Momma

Even though sometimes places like this one can get the best of you, you find to cherish the simple things, like getting to talk to my mom when she wakes up about whatever and hearing that my family is doing well without me around. Being away has sparked new life in me, new opportunity, and most importantly, has given me back my ability to think smarter, not harder. Having all those bills and debts, and not having a way to pay them off effectively began to take it's toll on not only my mind, but in a sense my freedom to be worry free. Now that they are gone it has lifted quite the burden off of my shoulders and allowed me to move on to my next financial downfall.

Hopefully going to take the Border Patrol test soon after I get home from here, cracking open another door to possibility of finding a somewhat career that best suits me, and because it is a federal job, it will allow me to rate a pension after 16 years of service; always a plus. The other possibility that has been running around my head is going back into the military, but I won't allow myself to do that again while I'm single, if it is to happen, I would only do it if I am happily married. Have always been intrigued by the Army Special Forces community, and with enough hard work and dedication to physically improving myself to be adaptable to that work life again, I'm 100% sure I could do it.

Turning 24 this year, and I feel like I have done so much, but not so much that has secured a decent future for me and my potential family. This drives me nuts sometimes, because I try to enjoy now, but I'm one of those people that has to make sure that everything will go right in the future as well. Sometimes those two things are quite conflicting, but I find a way to make shit work for me.

Off to the gym.

Semper Fidelis,
