Hey Ryuuchi, I'm >>46 from your other thread..

First of all, congratulations on what you've achieved so far. Just by opening up to your family and making plans, you have finally turned a new leaf in your life.

With regards to the arrangement with your best friend, I say take it, and run with it. Not many people will have an opportunity like this, I can tell you. After all, what do you have to lose? You might be afraid of trusting him, but a man has to take risks at times. If you don't risk anything, you won't have anything to gain.

Planning is important. Though sometimes, you have to remember to just go with the flow. You mentioned that your friend seems to be able to "wing it" through life. I myself, know people like that. Are they just naturally lucky? I don't know. But I think a bit part of it is their optimism. Optimistic people are happier, always look on the bright side of things, and thus seem to be lucky. If something bad happens to them, they learn from it, get over it quickly, and hence seem to not go through any troubles in their life. Anyway, I digress. It's good to have plans Ryuuchi, just don't overplan, or over analyse, otherwise chances will slip through your hands before you know it. If you get to an obstacle, look at it as an experience, and don't be swallowed up by it.

I also think you should consider yourself very lucky to have a friend that will do that much for you. Living with them might teach you a little more about responsibility and purpose. Remember to never treat your stay at their place for granted. Just do your part, like washing the dishes or cleaning from time to time, because you will be a part of their household.

Finally I'm glad to see you starting to mature.

I had my wallet stolen today, so I was feeling a bit down, but I'm smiling after reading this.
