"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.

For idiots who think diamonds are rare

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Burroughs,

A more down to Earth example (cheesy pun not intended). Every small town in the U.S. has at least one jewelry store. And every large city has several. And every jewelry store has lots of diamonds to choose from. Rings, necklaces, watches, etc. I bet the story is the same for every small town and city in Western Europe. Diamonds are common and ordinary. And there are plenty of them.

People just simply believe what they're told without thinking. I think I've given all of the evidence necessary to dispel that myth.
