Anxiety made it even worse. graduate school only
You have to abandon the road that guarantees a good job after graduation and enlist in the military at the age of 27.
Starting from what you do, it seems like it will explode with worries and worries about the future
There were many times when I grabbed my chest and sharpened my teeth. think about the stuffy reality
Every time a cynical laugh bursts out and find a way out of this road

Not 'I'm going to die of hunger' but 'Even though I'm hungry, my soul's joy and peace
The reason is not in the fleshly satiety, but only in the Lord!'
With that one word, 'All things belong to the Lord,' God
