I will finish high school. I will go to college to become a wildlife rehabilitator and a park ranger. I will graduate college and get a job. During this time I will be open to getting married. If I find my soul mate I will marry them. I'll settle down, buy a farm and some animals maybe start a family. But if I don't find someone I love and want to marry a few years after college I will join the army. I will devote the rest of my life to the army and I will not come back. I mean by this that if I do not have a reason to stay I will join the army and I will die while I'm deployed. Not meaning I'd go looking for trouble but that I wouldn't stop fighting and I'd protect my troop with my life because they'd be the only ones I care about and would want to go back home to their spouses and children. But if I ever got that letter saying I wouldn't be redeployed I would make sure I wouldn't come back to the states. I most likely will not live to see the age of 30 if I do join the army. These are the two possible futures I want.

This house no longer
Feels like home
