/lit/ - Literature

You called me a romantic when I told you about enlisting for the military, and I guess I am. You see, I want to join the league of my heroes - the great artists, scientists, thinkers, and revolutionaries. The men I admire have all crossed this bridge, and I picture them doing what I am doing, their spirits with me, their stories and sacrifice giving me the strength to move forward. Every day I become more like them; getting stronger in mind and in spirit, in body, in character.

Some day I will be worthy to join the ranks of the ones who made me the man I am today, and when I am there, I want you to stand by my side to share in the warmth of that brighter world. My friend, who was always there for me even when I was a nobody, my friend who believed in me.
