it’s always loud in here.
I can't explain why it's always loud in my head, it just is.
I'm not sure what is worse; my head always loud or suddenly being quiet.
Guess I got used to it- it's like having 30 tabs open on your computer; three of them are playing music or something and like 3 programs on in the background.
I've gotten used to it after so long but it's also so exhausting too. The never-ending train of thoughts.
Painting seems to tame the mind long enough to organize the thoughts and keep them at bay. Reading allows the mind to wander in a creative direction to keep the thoughts from spiralling.
What happens in the times I'm doing neither? Mental overload.
I'll never be out of misery.

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

Doing it for the troops
The others dropped like flies around me. We fought and struggled to get to this point. I'm the only one left now. The objective is right there. A mere two hundred feet away. The last of my team got a bullet to the head right next to me, but I couldn't do anything. I was able to locate and neutralise the sniper as he shot my friend, so his death was at least not in vain.
