Stop walking around telling people what you want and how badly you want it. Take all that time, that energy, those words, and do something with them.

Is this how we’re going to remember our lives? Instead of enjoying concerts that we paid big bucks for, we’re spending the time looking through the tiny screens of our phones to capture blurry photographs that we’ll later slap a Hefe filter on.

Forget the period of time when you saw it in his eyes that he felt you weren’t good enough for him, anymore.

So mom…engaged friend… creepy stranger on the Subway…Rabbi Yehuda, listen up.

My eye wouldn’t stop twitching today and I bet that if it had a voice it would probably try to say the following.

1. I have an exponentially large crush on you and these butterflies will keep sucker punching me in the gut unless I do this.

They say love is blind but really, who are we kidding?

You can roast anything, really, over fire. Marshmallows, bananas, the love note some boy camper with a retainer slipped into your duffle bag.

Everything’s moist. Does that word make you cringe?

2. Talk to strangers

Call her after you kiss her–call her for no reason at all.

Why are you STILL single?

Do you ever go to sit down at a table and there’s complete and utter, bottomless silence.

Please don’t tell that I can’t remember why we’re fighting.

Strangers, honest strangers, are the most dangerous people there are.

I don’t want to love you anymore because I want to go to sleep.

Your soggy twisted clothes are starting to get all pruney in the washing machine.

I’ll rest there for as long as you’ll let me, for as long as I can.
