The difference between
Home town and military brat
Always Starting Over
Taking risks between present/past
Keeping up
Bucking up
Survivorship
Get over it
Fitting in
Commitment
Saying goodbye
Being accepted
Do I belong
Hoarding momentous
Do you remember me
War vs Peace
Purpose vs dreams
Stereotype behaviors
Why is it important to be
Proud, be honest, have integrity
Shirt off your back for a fellow brat
Perfectionism vs praise of
Individuality - control issues of a military parent
Trust vs harboring secrets
Burying emotions
Watching from a distance
Making decisions not to
"rock the boat"
Applying everything to who I am professionally
Realizing you fit in that
round hole
Smiles look the same on all faces
Kisses linger longer when they might be the last
Promises of reuniting in the future
Getting older together and not worried about it
There you are in my world again
I missed you so.....
