In 4 days, I will have served my nation for 1 year. In this one 365-day span, I have lost much and learnt much. I have lost my hair, my girlfriend, my liberty and time. Through it all, I have learnt so much about the army (due to my vocation), that I can be anything I want to be with some effort, that everything that is supposed to me mine will eventually come back to me.
In another year, I will be done with my service. I will be one step closer to the rest of my life, which involves me leaving everything familiar behind for a strange new world.
It is too early for goodbyes, but I now feel the urgency of appreciation.
