Greetings again all. I'd like to ask if anyone would like to mentor me.
I'm really nervous about making next steps. There's not really anything near me in English for Buddhism and I would really like someone to be a guide or a pen pal.

Are you interested in Buddhism as a philosophy or a religion? If you want to be religious, I can't be much help. I think that the most fruitful aspects of Buddhism are the philosophy of the self and mindfulness mediation.
Why don't you try calling or emailing your nearest Buddhist temple? I honestly think the average temple would be quite happy to hear from a person who wants to be more active in the religion. Buddhist people tend to be very welcoming and accepting, because they're Buddhists.
