Brother,

Remember when you left back for Elk Grove? You wanted to “turn your life around” and focus. I admired that, but now I feel like you wanting to come back done is primarily a temptation to return to your problematic life. Not that I don’t want you around. But I hope you really think about how you can build upon the experiences you’ve made through college and work. You have a full-time job! You have benefits! You’re fortunate to have all these things right now and to throw it away for a home in LA. That’s what it looks like to me.
