The emptiness continually surfaces, causing personal questioning, self-doubt, confusion, that can cause discouragement, conflict, turmoil, anger, aggression, oppression, depression, rejection, self-harm.It matters not your age, race, physique, education, finances, or social affluence--popular or neglected, everyone is continually haunted by their emptiness.The people around us and our environment influence our reaction to our emptiness. We seek to fill our emptiness. We try anything and everything that we are exposed to in an attempt to achieve happiness, success, fulfillment.We seek to fill our emptiness by overworking, overexercising, over-entertaining, overeating, social media addiction, shopping addiction, gambling addiction, alcohol, drugs, opioids, pornography.

But the outpouring response from the women warriors' willingness to share the reason behind their selfless service in the US Military was beyond what I could have ever imagined.
