i am feeling many things at the moment, now, this week and time to come. defeat, guilt, anger, sad, worried, bitchy, helpless, confused, crushed, depressed, drained, enraged, empty, frustrated, scared, lonely yet loved. before a few days ago i felt all this along with feeling hopeful, determined, optimistic, calm, and happy. music is said to soothe the savage beast, and for me that has always been true, until now. music of any kind is not helping. why? i got a phone call, from a friend, telling me that she was throwing a going away party for a friend of ours on tuesday,(in council bluffs of course.) hmmm i ask why, where is she going? shes like oh yeah she being shipped out on thursday. bring a drink! i'm in a state of shock and say thanks but i can't make it, i live in hastings and have no money. (her) oh ok sorry bye. this friend of ours is my best friend sarah martin, who is in the army, just got out of boot camp in jan. we grew up together, been best buds since elementary school, was a bit distant for a short time, but then she "came out", told me last, i, in a short time after, told her about me and we have been tighter then ever, like we first were in elementary school. we always talked about joining the military she did and i went to ISU. well anyways i called her to see if it was true, and she said yup. she is being shipped to Baghdad. for at least 18 months and i don't get to see her off, its not even all that, i'm worried that i may never see her again. with the situation i am in at the moment, i was all right with how shitty it was and was going to get, thats why i had all the good feelings with all the bad, but now, now i don't fucking know.
i guess when i feel like my life is so bad, i'll think about where shes at and what shes doing, and then think again about my life and how lucky i am. I am very proud of her.
but for now i still don't fucking know. i guess u could say that i feel........ numb |
