"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.

"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.

If your knees hurt, then squatting might be bad for you. However -- if they dont hurt while squatting then load up the bar and power up those repps ;) My knees sound like two small firecrackers. As long as it doesnt hurt, it's no problem.

The general rule of thumb is.. if your knees crack and it hurts, then it's a problem. My knees crack all day long because I've had surgery on both, but it usually doesn't hurt unless I've been really active on my feet. If it hurts though you might want to consider an exercise that doesn't rely on 100s of pounds of weight pressing down on your body. Some people will advocate that everyone can do squats but even with correct form, some people have knee or joint problems that get in the way. Try biking, swimming, any bodyweight exercises (such as gorilla hops) to improve leg strength, then ease into the weights.
