Yo Tommy, what up?

Hey, first of all, man, I miss you, bruh.

It's been too long.

Hey, you know what, I watched that video that you sent me with the Jaguar,

killing that alligator, man, that shit was crazy.

And I was glad you told me that was your favorite animal

because now every time I see a Jaguar, I think about you. The toughness, the tenacity, the poise.

But I know it's a lot of uncertainty right now, not just for you, but for a lot of people myself included I don't know if I told you this but

you know I played football at a different high school than I went to and I was the only kid I was

the only brother that played football and during high school was a rough time for me because I really didn't,

I felt like I didn't have a lot of support. And I remember I used to take the bus 45 minutes

across the city to go to football practice, switching like three different buses, going to downtown.

And I remember a lot of times just sitting on the bus just feeling lonely, like feeling like nobody knew where I was.

Nobody was paying attention to me.

Nobody was really looking out for me.

Now I wasn't aware enough of my feelings then, but I was feeling lonely.

And that created a lot of pain, a lot of hurt.

But that's also when I developed my self-reliance. It's also when I learned

to trust myself. It's also how I developed the I'm not you mentality. And so I'm telling

you that man, because I know right now it might feel a little lonely you locked into your goals you got

you got your path figured out things don't always happen as fast as we want and it feels lonely man

but listen first of all you're not alone that's a fact because you know I'm out here in the jungle
