A Soldier's "Left Behind"

Hey everyone. Long time no blog right? College life has been busy and slightly thrilling. Life itself has been the usual...filled with its ups and downs, twists and turns, troubles and solutions, and fly-by blindsides. Speaking of troubles and blindsides (or at least the condensed version)... I have a friend in the Navy and he came back home for a little while (more like a week) and we got to hang out before I left later that week for my girls' cheer competition in Anchorage. Well some things happened and it was glorious. Well I left and he went back to his training base before he flew out on his orders to the Middle East for two years. Somehow, something happened and he never went. He is currently visiting family in the  lower 48. Our last form of communication involved the telephone and that was about a week ago exactly. We talked for a bit and then he had to go as did I. My only question now is why isn't he answering? It's not like he's not receiving them. But whatever. I have to realize that we're not together and that I have no claim whatsoever to his life. While I realize all these things, it's difficult to not feel like a "left behind". Ha. Me and my issues and insecurities. Eventually I'll learn. Don't always assume there's a two way connection. Am I listening to my heart you ask? Strangely enough, my heart has remained silent throughout all of this. That should have been my clue. Well signing off now. As always, I encourage you all to Follow Your Own and let your Heart Speak. <3
