"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.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The constitution, the US, and everything you think you know.

I stumbled across it sometime ago, it's long, no doubt, no question about it. But it's worth the voyage, at least once through to understand what it's about. At first it's hokey, the video/interaction uses much of the matrix movie as a backdrop for understanding a different matrix at play, or one that the video posits as true. It gives leads so you can check it on your own, which is good. For instance, go check out the 14th Amendment. Read and learn the constitution. It certainly was enlightening to me. I'll post the link, with the thread isn't locked as nothing political has been stated. YET.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.
