"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

my condolences too

Whenever anyone dies, I try to remember the good things that they did and not focas on the way they died.

Last year, about this time, I hit rock bottom after being rejected by a oneitis. i physically and mentally hit rock bottom. I thought about suicide for at least one week but I remembered what I had said "Well I guess it is time to go home and commit suicide..." and how I had so many promises I had and how my friends would feel about me. What really helped me out was my friends (Wags, Smith, Ash, Katie, and the rest of you guys). After this incident made me realize how important life is. I was actually not totally over this incident (I was still had a oneitis for this her) until I am finally over her entirely and barely talk to her at all. I am at a much more happy mode now. I wasted so much time on her.

Sorry for the rant but that helped me out getting that out of my system as the last amount of closure I needed to get over this bad time in my life.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

sorry to hear about your dad's choice to end his life, hope your family is holding up ok.

Last year, a neighbor's wife died, and he shot himself in his own backyard about a month later. It's a shocker to say the least.

Immediately, everyone asks themselves if they could have done something, said something, noticed something that could have prevented the outcome. Suicide is devastating for those left behind. The important thing is to remember this was his choice, not the result of anything you did or didn't do. Everybody has a sad story to tell at some point in their lives, how they deal with it is their responsibility, and not the responsibility of their family, friends, and neighbors.

His choice, although sad, was in fact a selfish one, don't let it wreck your family.
