Happenings of the Dramatic Sort 20

You know, sometimes I believe that we overthink everything.

By everything, I mean everything. Like why we just choked on that cracker. Maybe we just choked. Or, why the dentist just called for an appointment at the same exact time you were about to call them. Maybe they just called. Or, why things could or could not work out and how the plan should go this way or that way.

Sometimes, I think only two major things will happen.
1. She asks him.
2. He asks her.
Okay, so after that, yes, things might go wrong or funny or perfectly right. But why not try? Why can't we just go for it? In that sort of thing, by the end of high school, most people have gone through at least 4 boyfriends/girlfriends, even if the relationships last a year. And this year, going to different high schools, next year, why don't they just TRY????

All they have to do is ask.

Don't overthink it.
