Sometimes I get to wondering why I'm always so down about everything. School is going relatively well, I'm getting to start on a potentially lucrative job, and I have a decent amount of income I don't have to work for in the form of disability compensation from the army. It really comes down to being lonely though. I don't have many friends, and even fewer that I can talk to about things. The woman I love is thousands of miles away with no hope of anything more than a visit any time in the near future. That wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that all around me I see happy couples and it hurts so much that I can't think. ok, well that's enough complaining for now.
