Hey, I was doing a lot of deep thinking lately, and knew of one person whom I could rely on for advice, if you can get the time, I'd appreciate your thoughts.

You said you knew a lot of major people, people who had made themselves into something, quite a notable lot as well. It's high time I came to terms with the situation before me, seeing as... well,  High School is drawing to an end, and I would like something to go on.  

I know you have seen a lot of success around you, and well, though you couldn't benefit from it yourself due to other... restrictions and impairments by situations around you, I would like to know... something, anything, on how to... say, hit the ground running.

Personally, between you and I, and please, with the utmost respect and trust in you, don't tell them that I had said this, but I don't want to be like my brother or sister. I love them sincerely, but... they obviously... are trying to fly with led wings.

I don't want a Xanadu of a lifestyle, more or less, I just want to live comfortably, perhaps even more so. I don't aim to be a Bill Gates, or a Mark Zuckerberg, I simply want to live life.

Something that has always bothered me was that people slave and slave and slave to make their place in a world that they'll never truly be present in ...for all they do is work.

Almost like holding the cheese before a lab rat as it scampers on the treadmill, yes, it's working, and working, but will it ever truly get there?

The Worker's Paradox essentially, I don't want to be twenty-nine and working at Pinelodge if you know what I mean.
I have... honestly never given to much thought to it, and I know in Highschool they try to make you define your life within fifteen minutes using nothing but a pen and a worksheet.

I hate to admit that I put this off, and well, the time of reckoning is to come, approaching the edge of the waterfall. I need someone whom is open minded, and who has seen the world outside of Garrett County, to give me something to go on, the most notable that had came to mind would be you.

I may not know the roads, but I'm hoping to get a map.

Granted... I don't even know which one to take as of yet...

God have mercy on my soul for this.

Anyway, if you get the time, I would appreciate your thoughts, it's been a while since we had last talked anyway. Always enjoyed the conversations and food for thought.

Well, we all need a bit of a helping hand.
The only thing I can say is establish a goal and find out how to get there.
