I'm tired of settling for less.

Have you ever worked so hard for something? Put so much time, dedication, emotion, stress, and effort just to build yourself to put confidence in to your own work so you can get to the top? Only to be let down, in the end & find out you didn't quite get what you worked for.



I was the one that stayed after four hours late trying to make things perfect for inspections.

I was the one that took charge of the team and tried to make things happen.

I was the one that came back after almost a year of not being able to be there.

I was the one that was up for anything that you asked me to do.

I was the one that went the extra mile.



It makes me re-think everything. Should I even go back for more? I mean, I got what I wanted out of this program and it has made me in to a better person & I got the enter the Army as an E-3 instead of an E-1, with 3 years of this program. But ... I sacrificed a lot of time that I wanted for other things, that I chose not to put any time in to because I wanted to give my all to this program.



Don't get me wrong, I believe that the fact that He got the position is good for the program too. But there's a difference between being jealous and knowing that you deserved and earned that position.



I've always settled for less. I was always second place, in everything.
Maybe it's a sign that I should move on to something better.
