This year, I celebrated my 26th birthday. For some reason, turning 26 was rough for me. I think it had something to do with just not feeling like I’ve accomplished anything in 26 years. So many people around me have degrees and amazing jobs. I’ve had a few months to come to terms with the fact that I’ll be turning 30 in four years. I’m leaving Virginia at the end of this month for retraining (I’m changing military careers). I’ll still be doing a support function…but this time, I’ll know what my job means to the military. I’ll be right behind those on the front lines. I am happy and excited about where my life is headed. I’m looking forward to the new beginnings in my career.
I am half Okinawan (born in Okinawa, Japan) and I grew up in Southern California. Before you ask, no, I don’t speak Japanese. There is a reason behind it, but that’s a blog for another day. I enjoy reading. In all honestly, I’d rather be reading then almost anything else (there are things that I enjoy much more…but that’s a little personal and we’ve just met). I’m a sucker for romance novels but I’ll read just about anything that can keep my attention. I love reading about religions. If I was told that I have to choose a religion to follow, then I would choose Gnosticism. That, again, is a subject for another blog. I have plans for lots of blogs…right now, I just want to introduce myself.
If you’ve looked at my bio…you’ll see that I mention a battle with depression and cutting. I don’t freely mention these things because I’m looking for sympathy. I’m not ashamed. And maybe…just maybe…someone will stumble across this page and realize that there other people out there who have the same issues. And they will find comfort.
I guess that’s all for now.
Until the next dew drops,
M.
