Journal 14

If I were a soldier trudging my through the horrers of Vietnam and I could carry things that meant something to me and charish those things I could think of two things. I would bring a toothbrush because I hate the feeling of dirty teath and that would just be something that I would like the power to manage with my hygene. One thing that I would carry and would mean mire to me than the simple toothbrush eould be a letter from my significant other accompanied with a picture. I suffer from a similar being that jimmy cross experiences in his obsession with Martha, mine only being different in that my Matthew loves me back. But I sympothise with jimmy cross in how he tells if how he can. Never get het out of his mind. I never stop thinking about Matthew even for a second and I feel that that feeling would only increase in a situation when I was in Vietnam and feltso far from my loved one.
