Left, Left, Left, Right, Leaving

My little brother is leaving for the army tomorrow. My little fraternity brother, that is.

In a selfish world I'd like to say this sucks. I have been living in that selfish world since he first told me what he wanted to do.

This year he became one of my best friends. He was someone I told everything to and do almost anything for. And now he's leaving.

But that's the wrong way to think about it. He's doing something for himself, because he wants to. And though it really hurts, it wasn't fair for me to show him that.

Everything will be okay though, right? He's gone till October... He said he'd write. I hope he remembers to tell me when he comes back.

I hope he wants to see me when he comes back.

It'll be fine. I will be fine. He will be fine. He will be great. What he's doing is noble, heroic. What he's doing is what he wants.

I will be fine.
