hello!!
i got my first two letters from my partner today, but there’s no return address. is there any other way i can find an address to send my letters to her? i’ve been writing everyday she’s been gone and i don’t want her to think im not writing :,( thanks for the help!!!
hello!! i’m new to reddit and here because through my google searches, reddit has been most helpful with advice so i’ve decided to just ask you all myself! my girlfriend of 8 months (f17) is heading to basic (ft lenordworth) in a bit over a week. i’m mainly seeking advice for literally anything and everything! i’ve never had a close family member enlist, so i’m pretty new to everything.
main concerns:
letters/communication!
how often should i write/how soon?? am i able to send photos? should i limit how long my letters are?? is the sandbox app worth it? can i give her anything to have as a keepsake?
mental health/how to survive..
any tips on how to stay sane are very much appreciated.. i have a history of depression/anxiety so this is a very scary thing for me! as i am still in high school (same age as her), being away from my girlfriend for the entire summer is truly a teenage girl’s worst nightmare..! i am lucky to have a very busy summer and amazing friends, but some more nuanced advice is appreciated!
i know this may seem stupid to fret so much over as we are just a high school relationship, but my girlfriend is truly the light of my life and has helped me enter the happiest era of my life. any advice is truly appreciated so much as i don’t have anyone to guide me through this. thank you for reading the yap!!!
