Just when you thought things would get better, things seem to get worse. Victory is tainted with another failure. The brief moment of relief seems all too short as I am in battle again. Morale is low, and it is hard to soldier on when you're tired, weak, and without a leader.
Life, it turns out, is not easy, and those who are a few steps ahead of me guarantee it will not get any easier. It keeps throwing lemons at you, and you somehow have to muster up the energy to continue to make lemonade.
How we respond to difficult situations shows our character. Right now, I feel like giving up and running away, but how will I learn and grow if I don't deal with the problems that will continue to plague me in the future?
A part of me refuses to be defeated and deflated. While final victory to end this war seems so far away, I hope that there is purpose to all this and that I will see that purpose in the future, just as I saw with my recent "desert" experience.
A good, hearty laugh with a friend is what I miss most right now. It will be good to go home for a bit, which I haven't done in nearly a year.

Hang in there dude; I'm sure you'll find your moment when the point of all your struggles make perfect sense.
