My Reflections on the Matter at Hand

Home Front

Sigh. I spoke with my love again today. damn it's good to hear her voice, but it'd be better to see her in person. though i'm certain about our relationship, i'm just not sure how i'm going survive over the next year without her. it'll be a cruel trial of personal substance and development, one of patience and virtue, of sacrifice and love; the likes of which i've never seen before. have you ever been in a situation where you absolutely must succeed? a task so challenging and tedious that your fear would have you quit; but deep down you know quitting is not an option, and the only rational thing to do is push forward. take a step into the unknown because staying is not an option. with her gone, i find i want to quit and follow her to her far off land. I almost feel as if i'm the one being left behind and tested. But just as many times before, I know that i can't let me fear take control. the only thing i can do is move forward with my life with knowledge that we will one day be together. i have her love, just as she has mine. all that is left for me is personal grown, patience, and virtue.
