Quotidian wisdom.
Every now and then, I manage to slightly impress myself with my ability to get through to someone. It's rare, so allow me to congratulate myself once, here.
This was years ago, back in the day when I accepted invitations to go crazy.
After hearing a litany of all that was or could be wrong with the particular situation, I turned to the speaker, smiled my sunniest, and asked, "why don't you take your eyes off the fire exit for a second, and just enjoy the movie?"
I don't know if it's one for the ages, I'm just giving myself props for finding the right words for the right person in the right moment.
