Limer & Holden
Ever notice how the stories we tell ourselves about the world can make us either fearless or terrified?
How does that sound?
Yeah, every time I think about that, it feels like I'm standing on a cliff with one hand on the ledge and the other holding a lantern. One story whispers, “You’re a rock, you can climb,” and I feel like a superhero. The other screams, “There’s a drop, you’ll fall,” and suddenly my heart is stuck in a tiny, sweaty bubble. It's weird how just a different line can turn a sunrise into a storm. And that’s the whole point, isn’t it? We’re the authors of our own front‑page headlines. So maybe write a gentler headline next time.
So you want to tweak the headline, huh? Pick the line that feels true to you and let the rest just fade into the background. It’s the first draft that matters.
Exactly, I’ll try the headline that feels like a warm cup of tea and let the rest drip away like a lazy rain. The first draft’s the real hero, after all.
Sounds like a solid plan. Keep that tea‑warm headline in your mind and let the rest slide off the page. The first draft is your map; the edits are just detours.
I’ll keep the tea‑warm headline tucked in my pocket and let the rest tumble away like confetti. The first draft is the compass, and the edits? Just the wind that nudges me off the path sometimes. Let’s see where that wind takes me.
You’re treating the wind like a restless advisor—nice, but remember it can also erase the map if you’re not careful. Stick to the compass, let the wind only nudge you, not lead you off the trail entirely.
