Something that has been keeping me going through all of this Corona stuff, has been Brandon. We met about 6 months ago via mutual friends. He left for the military in February, and he’s been writing me letters. It’s nice to know that someone who is going through something so intense like basic training is still willing to make time to write to me. He’s very sweet, and maybe a little bit too optimistic about long distance relationships- but he’s really great to have around. He’s definitely a breath of fresh air compared to the guys I usually am interested in. If my ex had left for the military when we were together, I would’ve been lucky to get a goodbye. I just hope that this can all work out with Brandon in the end. I find it very hard to be optimistic and hopeful in any relationship type of situation, so having any sort of good feelings about this one has made me realize that having something to wish for can really impact your life in a good way. I’m trying to remain positive about all of this- and thank god for Brandon’s letters giving me something to look forward to other than graduation… if that even happens.
