And Done.
Alright, so if you lost a follower it was probably me. This account is now dead.
I’ll be leaving it up so I can go through the archives in the future if I wish, but there will be no more posts from me on this account.
You can find me @memoriesoftokyo

So, you're medically retired.This post basically describes a bit of what I’ve been feeling lately. My depression has been kicking my ass the last few weeks.
For those that are unaware, I had two leg surgeries in 2016 to treat Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome (CECS). I had some ridiculously high numbers that caused my legs to go numb whenever I tried to run. Two surgeries and a bunch of Physical Therapy later, and I still can’t really run without pain. As a result, I’m in the process of a medboard as the Air Force decides if they’re going to retire me.
Since I can’t run, my LE career is basically over. All I’ve wanted to do the last four years was finish my term in the military and join the SDSO or SDPD or the USFS/NPS as a LE Ranger. However, since I’m unable to run I can’t make it through an academy.
So all I can do at the moment is just go back to school, get a degree in something and keep the hope up that maybe one day I’ll be able to get my legs well enough that I can push through an academy. After that I wouldn’t have to worry too much.
It’s still hard to accept though that something I’ve been wanting to do, and something that is basically all I know, isn’t going to be able to happen.
It’s a big bummer.

Break bones when you’re young.
If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?
Honestly, I don’t think people really realize the time span life has. 80 years may sound like a long time, but when it comes down to it, it really isn’t. People feel they can take as long as they need to when it comes to things they want to do, so they push them aside saying, ‘I’ll get the important stuff done first’. Next thing you know, they’ve got a full time job, early mornings and later hours with no time to do what they want to.
A part of liking something starts with not having it. Seeing the new item or hobby and saying ‘I like that, I want it’ or 'I want to do it’ is where it starts. For some people, the deciding factor is 'Do I have the money to do this?’ and whether or not they continue depends on that answer.
Debating deleting this blog and starting over. Decided to go back through my first posts to see what younger me was saying.
