So I've come to a realization in the past half hour by going through Yahoo! Answers. Something that I think a lot of people know but don't consciously think about.
Why do we always wonder what could have been or what might be instead of what it could become? People are so stuck on how things "used to be" or how you "thought they should be" that no one really takes time to see exactly what they have in front of them. I know I've done that plenty of times but I'm trying to rethink things.
See I'm the kind of person who will stay out of loyalty. Loyalty to the person, to the person's family, and for so many reasons other than the fact that I want to be with that person. I think the same could be said about a lot of relationships.
This brings me to the point that sometimes people don't realize what military relationships about. They aren't about the past or the future, they are about right now because we never know if we have tomorrow with the person we love. It's about living for that moment and never leaving something left unsaid because by leaving it left unsaid, you'll never be okay if something happens to the one you love.
I was thinking about how someone in our platoon was killed in action (KIA) and it made me think about how many unread letters are sitting in his email, his facebook, and every inbox he had. The things that he never was able to read and the things he may never know. We take life for granted on so many occasions when we should be thankful every morning that we wake up without someone coming to our door in uniform giving the most heartbreaking news possible or that one phone that changes your life forever. We need to stop living for the past and start living for what we have.
Isn't that what love is all about?
