Fun with #OkCupid: Actual email from a guy I had a date with last night
So, I haven't told you all this ... but I secretly went out on 2 more OKC dates this week. Not part of any social experiment ... just for me. 2 dudes caught my eye, and I wanted to explore some more. First dude was super rad - gonna kick it later this week ... and this is the actual email from the second guy that I went out with last night ...
I felt really bad for the duderino ... first off, he had LITERALLY the BESTTTTT OKC profile I have ever seen. His pictures told the story of his life, the writing was intelligent, creative ... I mean wow! Totes insane in the membrane!!!
That being said, I had to meet the duderino. So when I was on my way back from Malibu yesterday, I stopped off in Santa Monica to kick it with him and grab a beer.
The second I felt the dude's energy it was this feeling of ... wooah. And particularly having spent the day with the peeps from the Summit Series, I could IMMEDIATELY tell that this dude was carrying around a TON of baggage. Like a ton ... a ton ... like Imelda Marcos shoebox kinda ton.
We started talking about things, and this guy is wicked smart. He dropped out of high school (but took some test to get a degree equivalent ... not a GED ... some super smarty gifted pants kinda test), and then became an intern at NASA.
I told him that being that creative and smart is a bit of a burden. You don't have the luxury of following the status quo - you're a game changer. That being said, you have to step up to your own plate and do something about it. It's not easy, but it's definitely a gift and should you not choose to use it, things can get messy because you're not going where your energy wants to flow.
He totally opened up, and I just wanted to give this guy a hug. Not like in a super sad way, but you can tell he's just been through some shit, totally hasn't processed it, but also isn't really doing anything about it either.
It's that quote from Vanilla Sky that "every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around."
What are you going to do about it? I won't apologize for calling anything out ... I have no filter, I can't not say something; I am convinced certain energies cross at moments like this for a reason. I too am going through a big growth period right now, I can feel it. At the same time however, you just gotta keep on keepin on. I didn't say anything to you that you didn't know, babe. You felt it ... and recognized it.
So whatcha gonna do next?
Here's another minute you can turn it around ...
and another ...
and another ...
Remember two things: Feels good/ doesn't feel good. If it feels good - start there. If you're doing anything that doesn't feel good ... STOP! Immediately! There's no reason for you to continue doing that.
Hang in there duderino ... life is waitin for ya! =)
