“When you take your attention away from matter and channel it towards consciousness, you allow energy to propel your life.”

As some of you might have guessed this is my first entry. I say “some of you” because I assume someone will read this one day and possibly relate to what I’m writing. But, the chances of that happening are slim to none, and that is not really the purpose of this journal.

I Googled “anonymous journal entry websites” and this site appeared. I started the entry with a quote my mom emailed me. She tries to better her children every chance she gets.

After many years in the military and now living as a civilian, out of sorts you might say, I found it difficult to speak to anyone for help. I needed to talk or write to someone.

I’m not the best writer on here and there may be a few grammatical errors in my entries, which I apologize for, but we all have our strengths.

I loved the military. I loved it the way Edward Scissorhands loved landscaping. It gave me life while providing an identity which I, in somewhat of an unhealthy fashion, enveloped, popping as many drugs and hookers that my body could handle.
