I find myself lost in these memories every single day. A time when life was stripped down to its rawest form.. no bills, no internet, no distractions from the outside world.. No running water, no showers, no bathrooms. Just the relentless rhythm of survival. Patrol. Fight. Eat. Nap. Don’t die. Repeat.
We were just kids playing war, but chaos in the Hell fire created bonds stronger than blood. It was the best and worst time of my life, a paradox of suffering and purpose. I would never wish that life on anyone, yet I am forever humbled to have lived it. Because those days didn’t just change me… they built me.
“If there must be a war, let it be in my time, so our children can live in peace.”
Make Peace or Die
