The first time I realized I have the power to change my life…

I wrote this a while back in my high school days. As you can see it’s always in the “I” because it’s more of an entry. Without further ado, here is my journal:

Over the summer, my summer was just eventful. I broke my toe, almost got robbed, and had a red-eye for weeks! The good thing was I (almost) meant Clint Eastwood. I rode my bike from Detroit to Waterford (that’s 40 miles.) I met this nerdy girl who lives in Farmington Hills, She’s a senior so I will be going to my prom soon…. The world needs more nerdy girls…lol.

I took this life- and it completely reversed my thinking. I don’t believe in soulmates…but I do believe that anyone can overcome approach anxiety because society teaches it. I learned about openers, bantering, storytelling, rapport, and kino. I also learn about value (no one is willing to put up with anyone that only takes away value.) and avoiding the pick-up persona. I like this way of pick-up because it’s sincere. I know this works and I’m improving because last year, I spent my summer having a serious crush on Olivia Hawkins but now this summer, I had 2 girlfriends. Also, one of them said that I knew her better than most of the people in her life. (that’s rapport!) This is great because this is all I ever wanted: be more successful in social situations while still being me. Also, Gentry (the guy who was sex-crazed with the cello.) is going to be my apprentice but I am going to be teaching him what I know. Picking up is what I do because I want to pick-up everyone’s moods and days up. (Guys included..not in a gay way..)

I also met a fellow writer and I signed up to an acting company. They say they handle concessions so they handle concessions so hopefully, I get paid.

That’s been my summer!

When’s the first time you realize that you had the power to change your life?
