Dear old friend,

I haven’t confided in you in a while.  It’s not that I don’t trust you or that I don’t enjoy silently catching up with my fellow confessors, but I simply can’t express this confusion I’m feeling in an articulate manner.

dunno bout the kindness thing -and no i don't get it either. i guess that was my point-is i feel really lost too.

it's definitely really different for us in a lot of ways. i guess i was just relating to the lost feeling, the feeling of being at a crossroads. certainly though success is different from security. your position is different and as you say it feels like an ultimatum for you-

that part of you that says make your choice, no more playing, it's time to decide. well it kind of reminds me of bully parts of me. i realize it's not the same-it's just a thought that came up. i know you've always been very ambitious and that success is important to you. i wonder though if this way you talk to yourself and the way you put so much in deciding right this second is so good for you. it may be-i'm not judging i promise . i have no room to judge. i just feel concern is all.

i wonder is there a trusted mentor or fellow students/writers/friends you would feel you could get a honest assessment from that you could talk to about this crossroads-that might be able to give you advice you trust -or just listen if that's preferred?
