- I miss CIY with the original youth group I came in with.
- I miss the unity I felt at the church I first started going to.
- I miss BCT and AIT and all the new experiences gained there.
- I miss Iraq and the lifestyle it brought.
- I miss being in the Army period.
- I miss old high school friends and the bonds we shared.
- I miss best friends, with whom I have gone longer than acceptable without talking.
- I miss living with my old high school friend, Ash.
- I miss orienteering as a team.
- I miss the cross country team of my second college season.
- I miss the way college use to be before life got super serious.
- I miss when less of my family was dead.
- I miss when my brother was able to be my brother and mentor and friend.
I don't mind where I am now and I'm excited about where the future has the potential to take me. I just miss the relationships I've made in the last 6 1/2 - 8 years and I don't really care for how the dynamics have changed. I guess moving around and things changing is just one of the least likable parts of the adult experience. I'm not really sad about things not being the same, just reminiscent. We can't go back, so hopefully the future brings better days with new memories and experiences to be had.
