"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 "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
You have in stage cancer with maybe 6 months to live how do you treat yourself?

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I knew someone with end-stage bone marrow cancer that got into a study at a medical school, this person was in complete 100% remission in six months. And remains that way till this day two years later.

Cannabis is only going to provide pain relief but a CBD topical applied could help if the cancer is close to the skin surface. Alkaline water, processed sugar avoidance and Vitamin C would also help.
"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.

I'd probably go on a radical elimination diet and fast 16-24 hrs per day, making sure to get plenty of exercise and avoid stress. I'd probably also start an insane supplement protocol based on what David Sinclair has recommended.
Not sure what I'd do to pass the time, I definitely wouldn't work for anyone...I'd probably just rack up tons of CC debt and do whatever felt most meaningful, probably travel and meet interesting people.

If you have something worth fighting for I would use eastern wisdom with western medicine to try and beat it on all fronts.

But seriously, it’s a crapshoot imo. I knew someone who had access to the best healthcare and facilities go much quicker than another on just Medicaid. In both cases I would attest the terms “battle” and “fight” were valid.
I would probably do a lot of psychedelic drugs if I ever find myself in that situation.
Burzynski: Cancer is Serious Business is an interesting documentary.

- Contact cancer advocacy organizations: There are many cancer advocacy organizations that can provide you with information about ongoing studies and trials. These organizations can also provide you with support and guidance throughout your cancer journey.
- Consult with a medical librarian: Medical librarians are trained to help people find relevant medical information. They can help you search databases, find studies, and locate other resources that may be helpful to you.
"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.
Whos sinclair?
