Fall in love with a man, you say?

First of all…why?

Run. That’s all the advice you should need. But I guess if you’re really on the hunt, I’d say continue your manifestations.

First, envision yourself walking on the beach. Along the shore, you see him walking towards you from afar. He looks majestic, and so do you. All of a sudden, he sees you. The moment he makes eye contact, he starts running to you, calling your name. Finally, he reaches you, falling into your arms.

Picture this 37 times in repetition every night before you go to sleep.

If that doesn’t feel like enough, an ancient legend says boiling a single strand of his hair in pasta water leads to true love. Make sure it’s plucked right from his head, keeping the little bit of scalp intact at the end!! That’s an INCREDIBLY important step.

Ultimately, I would advise you to continue to not talk to him. You’re doing a fantastic job playing hard to get. Good luck with your manifestation regimen! In my opinion, you’ve got this in the bag.

I advise you to start off with a few simple mathematical equations.

Now, I’m no math major myself, so even the most Liberal of Artists should be able to grasp this one.

Let’s start with a couple calculations. 5/12 < 6/12. They have been together for less than half a year.

That is a fat. 27 – 21=6. They are 6 years apart. That is a fact.

Consider, for a moment, that they were born on February 29th, a leap year. This would render him 6.75 years old and her 5.25. That is a fact.Do you really think a 5 and 1/4th year old and a 6 and 3/4th year old should be living together alone? Remind your friend that 5.25 – 6.75-year-olds are 19% more likely to start a fire in their own home than the average adult.

These stakes are raised to 68% when one or more of these children is living alone. The danger is multiplied 7-fold when one of these individuals is a man, and 18-fold when that man is also normal and boring.

If these facts aren’t enough to scare her, she might need to retake algebra, and she should definitely not be trusted to babysit.

Best of luck to you both.

It’s clear that Nadia Sanburn began making pottery out of a genuine need: too many plants, not enough pots! In their own words: “every single piece of my pottery has been touched by my hands many times.” So, their love of pottery isn’t just a creative outlet—it’s an extension of themself.
