"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I perceive it as that for various reasons I’ve lived a very fast life for a decade or so. A lot of stress, adrenaline. Everything from free diving to performing on stage and what not in between. I don’t know happiness in some way, perhaps short periods some day here and there.

It seems it now slows down. And I find that very difficult to handle. Sleeping decently is rare for me, I’m perplexed at what to do with a “regular” life. Watch TV, lol.

I take risk in responsible ways I think, but I must say there is some part of me that likes pressure, like some kind of addiction personality. I had no idea.

How do people approach these things? Shall one live the IKEA life, or let the chips fall where they may?

Perhaps find some balance. Reasonably healthy, but not too boring either. Will be demanding to do the reduction/change, though. Tbh, don't want to.
 

"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.

I've been a speed junkie all my life. If it's got wheels I will find the limits. But there was a 10yr period I went thru that I crashed everything you can crash. Broke several bones. Hospital stays. Road motorcycles everywhere. Outran the cops many times. Used to party 3 nites a week. Often At the lake on a boat at party cove, lots of naked girls. Raced cars on the weekend. Never home. Dated a few t!tty dancers. Changed out girlfriends every 2-3months. Have a ton of crazy fun memories.

Had a blast. Got the most out of life. With age I've slowed down and sometimes it drives me crazy. I often feel if I am not out doing something that I am wasting my life away. I'm either working or doing something. Not one to watch much TV nor sit around.

But my advice is to do it as long as you can right until the wheels come off. You always pay a price for living fast. You don't get out unscathed. But it's worth the risk.
