I was scared to say hi

Hey man,

I’m back in my hometown in Norway, walking through the city to buy a gift for my little sister…

And suddenly — there she is.
Cute. Confident. The kind of girl that used to make me freeze.

And for a moment… I feel it again.
That old fear.
The “don’t do it” voice.
That pull to stay silent, play safe, walk past.

But then I remember:

It’s not about getting her number.
It’s not about impressing her.
It’s about not abandoning myself.

So I walk up.
Smile.
Tell her she’s cute.

She smiles back, says thanks — she’s late for work.
No number. No storybook ending.

But I walked away proud —
Because I showed up for me.

And that moment?
That rep?
That’s the kind of thing that rewires your entire nervous system.

Tomorrow, I’m dropping a little tool I’ve been working on — something simple, powerful, and made for exactly these moments.

If you’ve ever frozen up…
If you’ve ever walked away and hated yourself for it…
This is for you.

Stay tuned.
And stay authentic.
