We are alone.

We are alone together.

We are all alone, so far apart, with no interconnections to support each other.

And yet here we are, supporting each other through metals, glass and plastics.


I can’t help but being actively more anti-militaristic than I would if I wasn’t a military spouse. And most people can call me a hypocrite but I didn’t follow someone into the military for the greater good of “America.” I followed her despite knowing she was going into the military because I cared about her despite her plans. Being surrounded by constant reminders up in my face, ever second, living on a military base constantly keeps me aware of the harm the military does. In a way, its better this way - so I don’t forget. But I still hate being surrounded by constant reminders of violence as a business everyday I wake up. Everytime my wife says, “I have to go to PT, I have to go to a commanders call.” We both fantasize about the day her contract ends.

Military Spouses: They’re the ones with the 28% unemployment rate. 28% is more than three times the unemployment rate for the U.S. population as a whole. Military families move around a lot – typically once every 2.5 years. A result is that spouses look like job hoppers when they present their resumes to prospective employers. Military spouses rarely stay in one place long enough to earn a promotion or a raise. If their soldier comes home with a temporary or permanent disability, balancing work and family becomes an enormous challenge. And so even though military spouses are relatively well educated and demonstrate a strong work ethic, many do not compete well in today’s job market.
I read this in an article I found randomly looking for some sort of hope of doing something active with my life and this only diminished any hope of pursuing anything successfully. America sucks.

I have no idea what I’m supposed to be doing. I absolutely do not fit in with any instituted career out there and yet I can’t find anything to be apart of as far as a goal in something is concerned. Am I only good at living? This is definitely not a world for me.

Deprived of meaningful work, men and women lose their reason for existence; they go stark, raving mad.
Dostoevsky (via claerwen)
“Man - I really feel this one in my life right now. I have no clue that I’m doing anything meaningful in my life besides being with Samantha.”
The universe has a silent song.

Its nice when you see pretty girls in existential angst because you then you know that they don’t just think about shopping, boys and pop culture.

The world is great. The world is vast. But you must drink the ocean one cup at a time to appreciate and process the real beauty in it. The most profound things are available only if you dose them correctly so your senses don’t get overloaded and you naturally become numb.
