A Man Full of Doubts: Deeks’ Surf Log 1/10/21
I can’t remember the last time I was this depressed. I just want to crawl and find comfort in Kensi’s arms. But I didn’t know how to take it when she joked there’s no crying in FLETC because thank god she didn’t see me crying in the shower. I fear she would have been quite disappointed in the man she loves.
Every cell in my body is screaming in agony but damn, I kept up with all those younger cadets despite the pain and I’m proud I held my own! But it’s my anxiety that is overwhelming me. There’s so much weighing on me to pass my training here at FLETC. I just can’t go back to the team a failure. My future, OUR future, relies on me becoming an agent. What else will I do if I fail? That just can’t happen. I wish I believed in myself the way Kensi believes in me. But that’s Marty Deeks. A man full of doubts. Am I justified in feeling this way or am I just being a ridiculous drama queen? I wish I knew.

Oh so sad! You captured what I imagine he’d be feeling so well. I hate that the writers made him feel this way for no good reason, but you described it perfectly. Poor Deeks!!

This is the perfect companion piece to Karen’s letter to Gemmill. I’m still agitated over that episode.
It’s always a treat to read your writing Diane. Thanks for doing this.

It was hard to watch Deeks struggling, but there has to be a good reason the writers have done this.

Doubt can be so debilitating. Rise above it, Mr. Deeks, and forge ahead. You have experience on your side.

If ever a hug was needed. Anxiety and self doubt, a toxic mix. You made it seem so real. We know he gets through this but……..
