The chance missed years ago

The other day, somebody told me a story about how her former friend escaped the friendzone and became her husband.

She was in the middle of a divorce process with her then-husband and her then-friend was helping her move into her apartment.

She mentioned that she appreciated that she had such a good friend to confide in, but before she could finish her sentence, he stopped her right there.

“I don’t want to be considered as a friend anymore.

I want to be more than that.”

Her then-friend admitted he missed his chance years ago, and that he didn’t want to miss it again.

They went on a date and have been together ever since.

You only get one shot? Yes, but no

Eminem is one of my favorite rappers, but when he says that you only get one shot, he’s only half-right.

You only get one shot in a particular moment in time, but that shot isn’t gone for good in every scenario.
