New Beginnings
I haven’t used this account since 2018. I was still in high school, romanticizing my life. Under the impression that i would find love that i saw in the movies. I would have the friendships you see in Friends and be a independent college girl. Oh how i was wrong. So much has happened since i graduated in 2020. I went to basic for three months. Came out of that feeling strong and excited about what was next in my career. Finished my tech school and was awaiting my orders to my first duty station. Got the email that we received them, opened it up and saw Mountain Home AFB. The Air Force really decided to send me back home. How ironic. I joined the military to travel and thats where they sent me. Crazy. Fast forward two years and it’s the beginning of 2023. In those two years, i’ve met new friends and lost some friends who i thought would be in my life forever. I’ve also rekindled friendships from my childhood, made even more friends and met my first love. Experienced some amazing things like flying in a jet and going to the first all female air show in Portland. Being back in idaho has allowed me to be close to my family which i am grateful for every day but has also made me feel like still living the life i was living after graduation and before leaving for basic. I feel like a teenager still when i’m not. I’m about to be 21 this summer and i still feel like i have absolutely no idea what i’m doing. I have a great job and coworkers. I pay for my car and insurance. Im still in the dorms so i’m not paying rent just yet. Im attending college online and studying to test for Staff Sergeant this May but something still feels off. I don’t know what it is but i’ll figure it out. Part of me thinks that i need to figure out how to separate my military life and personal life. It also could be that i’m in my early 20′s and life is just going to be messy and confusing.
I set some new year’s resolutions for me to accomplish this year such as:
Going to the gym consistently
Eating healthier
Drinking more water
Going outside more
Less time on social media (Tiktok specifically)
Spending more time with my family
It’s been a little challenging for me to do some of these since i’m currently deployed but some are still achievable. I’m just excited to get back and establish a healthy productive routine again. I’ll try to post more on here and kinda use this as a “journal” in a way. Cheers to living a healthy, happy life this 2023 🍃
