[wordsnquotes]

In school we learn that mistakes are bad, and we are punished for making them. Yet, if you look at the way humans are designed to learn, we learn by making mistakes. We learn to walk by falling down. If we never fell down, we would never walk.

Robert Kiyosaki, Rich Dad, Poor Dad (via wordsnquotes)

You can’t ever be really free if you admire somebody too much.

military worship in this country is out of fucking control

excuse me?

military worship in this country is out of fucking control 

Yea you’re right, we shouldn’t honor the people willing to risk their life to save ours and defend our country … oh

Military worship in this country is out of fucking control

I’m in the military and yes it’s out of fucking control. Most of the people I know in the military feel the same way. You civilians need to calm the fuck down. Most of us joined in our teens or early twenties. For a lot of us it was because we needed a job, and we didn’t see any other options, and this job has good benefits, especially for an uneducated young person in America. We get healthcare and education!! That’s some tempting fucking fruit. But this is a JOB. Some people in the military become heroes, that’s true. Jumping on grenades, defusing bombs, dragging a wounded person from the middle of a firefight. They usually end up dead in the process. Those people deserve respect, in my opinion. They give their lives for their friends, no matter whether or not you agree with the policies that put them there in the first place. But a lot of people in America reflexively claim that everyone in the military is a hero, full stop. This isn’t true and it lets people look the other way when something is actually wrong in the military, because it’s the military, they’re heroes, they can do no wrong.

We’re doing a job, and a lot of us are never really put in harm’s way. I work in a climate controlled lab for 8 hours a day, for instance. Really grueling. Such a hero. This fawning lip service of an infallible military doesn’t do us any good. I know people who have bought into it, who have heard so many people tell them that they’re heroes that they actually believe it, and they are the stupid and dangerous ones. Joining the military does not make you a hero, and calling us heroes might make you feel all warm and fluffy and red white and blue but it doesn’t do anything for the people that end up on the streets with PTSD or come home with life-changing injuries or in a box. We’re human beings, not some concept that you can just mindlessly adulate and then feel better about yourself.

What I have since realized is that if people expect you to be brave, sometimes you pretend that you are, even when you are frightened down to your very bones.

Don't discriminate , women are as strong as men, they can do as much as men can, so stop telling a girl she couldn't do what she wants, because it's to dangerous! It's never to dangerous just because you are a girl or woman!

I always thought that time helps when you are hurt, when you are confused or anything like that. Well, it looks like it doesn’t.. I’ve been home for six weeks now and I still don’t feel good about being home.. I want to go back, but I can’t really talk about it with anyone, cause no one gets me… My friends here are just confused that I’m not happy to be back…I’m just not, cause I’m slowly becoming my old self again and I don’t want that!!
