Moments

Not occasions. Situations: the ones with a clock on them, or no words for them. What to do first, what to say, and when a song is the way to say it.

What to do first, in order Sources named and linked

How these pages work

First, in ten minutes

The one thing to do before anything else

What to say

Lines with copy buttons, for the text or the call

What not to do

The moves that make it worse

When a song is the answer

Only where it fits the clock

Three moments

If you only read one line

The first step from every moment. Open the page for what comes next, the lines and the sources.

  1. I forgot our anniversary. What now?

    First, in the next ten minutes. Say it plainly: "I forgot. I am sorry. It is on me." No excuse attached. The excuse is what they will remember.

  2. "I don't want anything." What to get them anyway

    What they mean. "Nothing" means "nothing I would have to store, return or pretend to like". It never means "no attention".

  3. Their birthday, and you are on the other side of the world

    What arrives on time. Anything digital: a letter you scan, a video from everyone, a song. Parcels across a border are a coin toss.

Songs made in a moment like yours
