A letter to my friend Victor

My dear friend Victor,

After our telephone conversation I just wanted to write you this letter in continuation of your diatribe. I feel you man, I know what you have realized. And for me they came in so many different packages. We are both 27-28 years old. I combine those two years together because they need to stick together. It's like a small metamorphosis into the next dimension of our lives. Right now you come to me, telling me you are seeing the importance of earning a living while persisting with your artistic soul. I am doing the same.
Right now you are in film school, a place in your life which you have wanted to be for so many years of knowing you. You made it. You feel pure and a bit frustrated too. You see the vastness of cinema and how underappreciated the craft can be in the network of "earning a living". Well, as you continue with your wishes you will realize, especially being 27-28, that your weakness is your biggest strength. You know now that the door is open for you to develop your craft, but yet are agitated at the impending responsibility of financial success too. Even if money isn't your primary goal, you are now coming to realize it's interwoven importance for a "professional _________ (choose your own).
You are strong to stand on that my friend. You have the practicality to turn your dreams into a practical pathway into the next years of your life. I know, because cats like you and me have taken many different jobs from the age of 19. Waiters, busboys, dishwashers, prep cooks, bellhops and all. But we weren't really those things. We were always set off by our visions and dreams. Dreamers man. i know. But now you are confronting yourself with the Dreamer Victor. And it's looking good according to what you have told me on the phone. You want to merge with that dreamer but yet act as a solid captain of your ship. Strong and mighty to take on the uncertain seas ahead. This is the time to draw out your map, and use what you have dedicated yourself to in tight and rigid order. The dreamer can only be kept alive with you as the captain. Take the decision to seek side ventures to fill your ship with nutrition, health, and leverage to support others who will embark on your ship in the future. It is divine to provide for others that depend on you. This should be your fundamental grasp.
Enjoy the changes of wind and current, but always know you are the captain and God is your shining star.

I know I will...
