best of luck

Hi, I just wanted to say that I know what it feels like to be lonely. Often I have that sinking feeling late at night
that no one is around or cares. I hope that whoever you meant in the secret contacts you, or things do end up working out (for the best). I know people say 'things happen for the best' and often times you want to roll your eyes at them and their mentality, but at the same time people learn something from everything that happens.

I wonder if you will know that your secret was on Postsecret or not. I have heard that some soldiers in Iraq do have internet access--well I guess you are in boot camp though. I remember my ex- always saying that in bootcamp they break you down to re-build you in the form they need. Try and always remember what's important to who you are though, and set aside part of yourself to not let the drill sergeants touch.

I guess real quick, I'll tell ya a few things about myself, since here I am giving you advice. lol. I'm twenty-four, and still trying to figure out where I'm going in life. I really have been taking a release from running lately. I'm not very fast though, even as I have long-legs. Um.. I guess mainly I've been trying to find a way to move on by finding a real job or become a librarian lately. It seems like a lot of people around my age (early to mid-twenties) are still trying to figure out where to go next. The economy hasn't helped with fears of how to build a life either. All right, well best of luck in boot camp, and I hope you find what your looking for!
