...a different dream this time...hoping for peace of mind

This dream scares me and I worry about what would come of it. I don't desire to go over what it was about but just say that it left me in tears and I was unable to sleep properly. It's 3 in the morning and I came here to try to release some of that stress.
I fear that I may not be able to get together with my mate. No matter how much I work, suffer, or struggle through adversity. Slowly I let that fear build and it eats away at me and I start to sink. Do you think I'm just wasting my time or will it all be worth it in the end? If the army were worth it, I would go through any hell and put up with it if it were, but the longer I'm in, the more I see that it's not. They don't even allow me time to go to school. So I've decided to go into the reserves so I can at least have a job but be able to go back to school. What do you think?

"Hope for the best, but expect the worst."
Pretty much, you can be optimistic and hope that everything will work out. But at the same time, you shouldn't let go of the possibilities of everything going wrong. It's less painful and best, in my opinion, to cling to both views so you don't build up too much hope only for it to crumble down, but also not bring yourself too far down in case something good does happen.
So just keep trying. Perhaps things will work out someday. You never know unless you actually get to the end point of the goal.
