I'm not in shape. I don't think I could survive basic training. I'm running out of options.

The most important thing is to just keep going. Always keep trying, even when you think you can’t.

I'm feeling really old. It's hard to keep trying and failing at my age. There are no jobs and I don't have anyone to lean on for financial support.
