>How do I get motivation to draw again?
>I haven't in months and I can't get back into it.
Motivation is incredibly finicky a beast at the best of times. It requires a conscious effort a lot of the time. A first line of defense is to form a habit around exercising your skill, so drawing in this case. If it is just "a ting you do every sunday" then you will do it at the time you are used to, because it's just what you do. It will mean forcing yourself for a while but it will get easier. The other part is to figure out what saps your motivation.
>I had a friend in Texas that I broke contact with like a year ago and I'm kinda worried for her, should I reach out?
Unless you broke off contact because she wasn't good for you, it doesn't hurt.

>i'm sorry for posting this here, especially something so long
don't think of it as long, think of it as providing context. I appreciate context.
>this has made me conclude i must be either misleading him or taking advantage of him
I disagree. What do you know of his circumstances?
>and it's only a matter of time before he realises this himself and stops talking to me.
Careful, if you detach out of fear of abandonment it becomes self fulfilling.
>the worst case being us meeting irl and him regretting ever knowing me.
>is it reasonable
I don't think so, no. Besides, even if he were to regret it, you shouldn't deny him the chance on the grounds that you know what is good for him. He's an adult after all. Unless you have a serious concern that his decision making is compromised.
>i'm fearful of losing it. i like him and he makes me feel good about myself.
>but i can't help but feel that's selfishness talking.
You aren't selfish, you have social needs. Your relationship with him (even a friendship or acquaintance is a relationship) will only grow healthier if you try to get mutual friends or try to get to know more people on the side. He can help with it.
