"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

At what point in your life did you feel safe?

Who wouldn't want to grow up in a healthy, supportive family? Sadly, not all of us got that chance.
Part of you wants to create that same warmth with your own family, just to finally feel safe, but you know it wouldn't work.
And that realizations hurts. That sense of unity and emotional security so many people take for granted is something many of us, unfortunately, have never experienced. Look around, and You can see families who evolve together, but for many, instead of a solid support system, they're surrounded by people who often show the worst of themselves.
It feels like You'll never find a group You could truly call family, a team moving forward together.

Tell me I'm not the only one who grew up in a house that never felt safe.
Tell me I'm not the only one trying to build a different life, one that's safe, healthy, and filled with people who understand each other.
I know many here have lived through similar experiences. If that is true, then we're in this together, brothers and sisters.
And if any of us reach that "safe path" first, even if it's still a work in progress, I hope they'll share how they got there.
They make us born to slaughter each other, competing with each other for resources, but at a certain point in life, you learn that some human beings are more valuable than gold itself.
 

"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.

Those who's ambition is to, some day, regale audiences which number in the millions with stories overloaded with sheer terror and grisly humor. You think this guy

Had the sort of childhood you described? Nope. That gentle parenting corn ball sh-t breeds Harvard Law grads who end up in The White House, after a distant cousin of theirs drags The US into TWO of the most disastrous military adventures in the nation's history, and is callow enough to publicly opine that empathy alone will cure the world's ills https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9609019-the-biggest-deficit-that-we-have-in-our-society-and

Sometimes that connection you seek can’t be found in your family but in your social circle which you share hobbies with, could be a church or a worship group, gym buddies, martial arts dojo crew etc But most of all, learn to enjoy your solitude and be comfortable with living alone, that way, you’ll enjoy good company even more.
