MLMM Saturday Mix

Joe always felt courageous, even a bit cunning, but his life experiences had turned him into a timid, simple man, never a happy one. It was a life of disappointment, from his eighteenth year when he was rejected to serve in the military. He wasn’t healthy enough, something he never knew until the army doctors found something. Most of the men in his family were military and he felt he let them all down, even though none of it was his fault. This happening seemed to set him into a life of regrets, but it was his own attitude that failed him. Joe let his dissatisfaction affect his entire life, in interviews, employment, girlfriends—every aspect of his life was affected. Now Joe is retired and sits alone in his living room, watching other people’s lives.
