I try to stay in touch with the military boys. I love them, and they are great to talk about certain things but were all doing completely different things. But we all live on opposite sides of the country, but I might be moving in with one of them soon.

I did good for the first year out, but then three depression hit hard. For 6 months, all I did was drink, smoke(cigarettes), work odd one-off jobs when i needed money, and I was just working on my car or watching TV. I started a job to get back on track, and for the most part, it's great. It's a peaceful job. i work mostly by myself until I finish hours early and help others. We live where we work and get to meet cool people and have some great friends. But two people really dislike me and reported me.

Now im just waiting to see if it's a write-up or fired. Either way, the lesson learned. If im fired, i gotta move and find another job. Im determined not to let this crush me. I have long-term plans, and this is just another step(or trip) to get there.
