Original Advice

DO: Text them a plan, not a paragraph.

Defrost Distance With Logistics

Cold truth: your long texts lose heat before they land. You think you’re clarifying; you’re stalling. Winter doesn’t read essays, it measures steps. They don’t need your weather report, they need coordinates. Stop narrating your intentions. Choose a door, turn the knob, step through. Shivering isn’t romantic. Friction is. Plans make friction. Paragraphs freeze on the screen.

Action warms air. As soon as you name a time and place, the day rearranges around it. Specifics create gravity; people fall into orbit. A plan respects their attention and protects your fire from drafty overthinking. Logistics are intimacy in cold weather: coat, keys, cash, route. Keep it short so they can say yes. Let momentum handle the feelings you keep trying to summarize.

Cosmic Context
