"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I know this isnt the average problems that most of you have, but my backback and my sports bad got stolen the other day, feeling really bummed about it too, cuz i owe the schoo money now. I've been having pretty bad luck this, and i dont know whats gonna happen. This all happened cuz i broke a Bhudda Statue. Anyway i was takin transit bus home, about 5min walk away from school and then i go across the street hoping to get a hug which i rarely get at all, atleast i got the hug, i saw the bus go by and my stuff gone to. I think im prolly gonna have to replace all the textbooks in those bags, not to mention notes and other things which i will have to photocopy. I think roughly i have to cover about $200 worth of textbooks, i dont got a job yet hoping to get one, but Im 15, i dont wanna tell me parents, damn im screwed.
Anyone know whats gonna happen to me or what i should do

Thanx a lot, wish me luck, i hope this cruddy week ends soon.
Thanx
 

"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.

Dude, let's get your priorities organized:

1) Tell your parents; you're better off confessing and having them help you out than them finding out at the last minute.

2) Sure it really sucks, but hey things happen; It'll take time, but you're going to have to replace the notes, homework, personal things, your backpack, etc. eventually, so why not start now?

3) You should seriously pay those book fines ASAP! It could screw you over when you're trying to participate in school events or walk the stage when you're delinquant.

4) Girls' hugs are great.

5) Nothing bad will happen to you, as long as you complete the first 3 priorities.
