Sorry to hear it didn't work out and thank you for your service.

For what it's worth, often it's valuable to take a step back rather than to just keep hitting your head against a wall. This can provide space to develop a better sense of perspective and why things went the way they did, whether you might have had a shot if you approached things in a different way or whether something else might be a better fit for you.

I relate hard with the career struggles, thanks for sharing! :') Also very sweet (and again relatable) to drop everything for true love. :3
