"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.

Here I am again. Been here many times before.

Have a great girlfriend right now. Family is Asian - from Thailand. Sexy. Intelligent. Always eager to please me. Shares hobbies. Loyal. Everything is good.

Yet, we are both looking for new jobs at the moment and its likely this relationship will end when we move to different cities.

Of course, I could try to stay with her. But I dont think I really want this.
 

"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.

Bridge will be here soon enough. A few months at most.

Staying with her would mean altering my career plans and moving to a place I probably wouldn't want to move to, just to be with her. It would mean becoming domesticated. This is something I do not really want to do just yet. She has her own plans, and unless she wants to change them we are going to separate.

Its going to be very, very painful for a while.

I am 27 years old, almost 28. I see people settling down, getting married and having babies everywhere around me. Almost to the point where some people want to make me want to feel strange for NOT following their example and instead going through different girlfriends/periods of singlehood.
