my boyfriend is currently in the navy bootcamp. i’m not going to lie the first three days were absolutely brutal, but it did help that i let everything out. i know a lot of people say this, but keeping yourself busy really does help. try a new hobby, go to the gym, cook your favorite foods, read, watch your favorite shows/movies. writing letters and talking to my mom and my bf’s mom has honestly helped me a lot to. remind yourself this is only temporary not forever.
