Hey there,

Are you more worried about the future or today?? I sense that you might be rushing into things with people you "want to be with". It might have started as an innocent friendship, but it quickly turns into a crush. So, let me start talking about what I am feeling from you.

I keep seeing your pictures and the words "SLOW DOWN" keep popping out at me. Slow down and smell the roses, slow down and give the people around you a chance to see who you really are. You are a dedicated man, but like a speeding car, nobody will be able to see it if you are moving quickly. Find your hobbies again and become passionate about them, I am sure there is SOMETHING that you are really into, and when you really get into it, you will be a little more open minded to the world around you. Try and talk to people about something that you aren't use to, step outside your comfort zone a little and it will help you grow more. When you are challenged, you can step back afterwards and really appreciate what you have learned from the lesson. This best friend right now, isn't the one for you.. She is just that, a 'good friend', I wouldn't call her a best friend because your feelings for her will always be the same and it will hurt if you see her with someone else all the time, especially when her time will then become less with you and more with him, giving you more time to dwell on something that just isn't ready to happen between you two. The minute that you start to learn who you are, then others will see that you are someone that they want to learn about to. How could you teach a subject about something you don't know about??! You just have to rediscover who you really are. Step back and look outside the box. I see a man that will make 1 woman VERY happy and you also come across as someone who will be a great dad.. VERY involved in family. Just let life guide you in a SINGLE direction and before you know it, a keeper will fall right into your lap.

Stay true to your self brother,
