RANNNNNNNNTTTTTT :))) okay so I was watching my queen Ellen and I saw that one video of the veteran coming home and followed by another one and 10 videos of veterans coming home (and some not) I realized something: I would never want to fall in love with someone who’s in any branches of the army because I’m too selfish and it’s literally one of my biggest fears. I would rather have them alive and well than have them risk their lives in battlefields and be selfless heroes and deal with the possibility of never seeing them again. I just can’t imagine how worried and scared all the military spouses and kids feel because they don’t know if their loved ones will come home or if they’ll get a flag instead. I honestly have so much respect for everyone who knows and loves someone in any branch of the army because that is literally the strongest thing anyone can do. Like I feel like if I fall in love with someone and they go into the military, I would literally worry to death about them and everything because I grew up in a war zone, I know how the odds are they won’t be coming home safely, or the same because I’ve seen shit that changed me and I’m not even 17 but I still can’t imagine what the soldiers have seen. And to imagine someone whom I’m in love with has seen even half those horrifying things just makes me feel desperately and utterly heartbroken because, as stated before, I am selfish. I am selfish because I only want them to be happy and see beautiful things, and I know war is such an ugly thing that I wouldn’t want anyone to live through. I am selfish because I want to be able to wake up next to them every day. I am selfish because I want to experience beautiful things with them. I am selfish because I want to grow old with them. RANT OVER :)
