Hi! Uh... Charlotte Paige, reporting for duty!
Welcome! Ms. Weir's asked you to join
the writers in the conference room.
Just straight through the glass doors.
Okay, thank you.
Okay, well, let's circle back after lunch.
Uh, Tell me how the phone call goes.
Thanks for taking care of that...
Ah, Ms. Charlotte--
thank you for joining us.
The team is just finishing up,
um, your timing is perfect.
So, have a seat and I will introduce you to everybody.
Alright people. Can I have your attention again?
This morning, fantastic. We accomplished a lot.
Thank you for all of your contributions.
To wrap things up here,
I want to introduce you to Charlotte Paige.
Charlotte is going to be writing our new
featured article, 'Mr. Right'.
Very excited
So, as all of you know,
'Mr. Right' is an idea that
we've been tossing around for quite a while now,
and it's finally time to get it off the ground.
I mean, I just hope that I can live up
to the... talent that's here.
I 'm sure you'll do just fine.
Every Monday morning we meet, we brainstorm,
all the articles for the coming week.
And--
Remember, part of the joy of writing is...
The journey of discovery.
Of yourself and others.
So, take the journey!
Yeah? Okay! Alright!
You guys, thanks so much for your time,
Um, I think we're wrapped up for today.
'K?
Alright, so, I want you to take some time
to settle in today,
meet your co-workers,
but don't doddle too much.
I will expect to see a final copy of your
first article by next Friday.
Alright...Hey, I want to see that by two
- Alright. - Yeah!

Hey there yourself!
So, you're new.
- I am - Well, my spot is WAY- right here,

Yay! That was easy.

- So... "Mr. Right"? - Mhm. Mr. Right.
- What is a Mr. Right, right? Right? - And that is where I'm stumped.
Okay, so you, you write about dating- la'amor
um, but it sounds like you're single?
Oh yeah.
Well, I mean, maybe that's not a bad thing, ya know?
Maybe you just need to immerse yourself into your writing.
Like for me, I write better when I'm out there living the thing,
so... Like Ms. Weir said, 'take the journey'.
Or whatever it is she says, I never pay attention.
- Yeah. - Um, don't tell her that.
But yeah, if you're writing about dating,
then maybe you should just be dating a lot?
Yeah, that is a good idea.
See, I wouldn't even know where to start here
to, like, meet guys.
Well, you have come to the wrong place.
I can't even remember the last time
I've been on a date!
But, maybe you could try the dating apps?
- You might have more success than I did. - Ooh, yeah.
I guess I can't avoid them forever, right?
- No, mam, no. - So... I gotta pull out all the stops.
Ooh, good attitude! I like that.
Okay, you'll have to help me with that whole thing,

What about you?
Um... I mean, ya know, same, same old,

Oh! The drink! Uh, lavender macchiato.
Got it. Lavender macchiato.
And uh, double time, if you would.

- You did good today. - Thank you.
Well, I hear that there are tons of men
lined up for Charlotte.
Oh please!
I- I'm just good at meeting people, okay?
Let's put it that way.
Hey, that would be a great quality
for a relationship writer?
Huh, weird?
Um, we should go downstairs and get a coffee.
- Yes. - Also, I feel like you could probably use
the extra energy considering you're going to be doing
a lot of research about- what was it-
- base jumping? Was it? - Mhm.
- Yeah. Don't worry, you won't get hurt. - Let's go.
- Coffee?! - Yes.
Hey, I got this one.
- Hey Liam! - Hello!
How's it going?
Good. Uh, hey, congrats on the second article.
- Oh, thank you. - Read it. It was great.
Who's the next lucky guy?
This week is Mr. Wikipedia
and next week is Mr. Adventure.
- Woah! Yeah, come on. - Yeah!
Nothing says Mr. Right like jumping off a cliff.
- Mhmm. - Sounds dangerous.
I hope not.
You guys just want the usual?
Yes please.
Frap for me.
You got it!
Okay, what was that?
What was what?
- Liam? Oh my, that was nothing! - Yeah, LIAM.
Uh huh, yeah sure.
Come on, don't give me that.
You know I know you better than that
AND I saw the look.
What? No way!
- Yeah, the- - Oh my...
- Come on. - There was no look.
Alright, one lavender macchiato and one frappachino.
There you go.

- Thanks Liam! - You're welcome.
Ok, busy busy day, those bases won't jump themselves!
Hey seriously, be careful, okay?
Don't jump off anything too high!
Okay, don't worry about me!
Good afternoon, Ms. Paige. I'm Doctor Bailey.
I hear you've taken quite a tumble.
Yeah...
Rock climbing, yeah that explains it.
You seem like you've have better days,
taken quite the fall.
Yeah, I was wearing a helmet though.
My arm is what really hurts.
It's a good thing your friend brought you in when he did.
Yeah, only after he spent an hour collecting
his equipment and chatting with his 'bros'.
- Ah! - But, hey,
at least he was first aid certified, right?
I owe this-
to those skills.
Well, let's remove whatever
'this' is, cause it's not doing anything,
and we'll check out your arm.
- Mmm - Yeah.
We don't have to amputate it which is good-
maybe... we'll see.
Ms. Paige, what are you still doing here?
Oh, I'm just waiting for my ride.
I examined you quite a while ago.
Yeah, well, I didn't realize my phone
was in my pocket when I fell,
so it took a much harder hit than my arm.
Well, still you shouldn't be alone.
Those painkillers are no joke.
Oh, uh, no, my friends coming.
I texted him and they responded, I think.
But I'll be fine.
Still I think I'll wait here with you.
No, really, you don't have to worry about me.
Oh it's no problem.
I was just on my way home.
It's no trouble.
Oh. Thanks.
So... rock climbing, huh? Is that a hobby?
No, and definitely will never be!
It was a first date. And, coincidentally, a last.
It's memorable.
Yeah.
I mean it was fun to try something new,
I guess, but maybe next time not something so...
Like a trust fall, with a stranger?
Yeah, from fifteen feet in the air!
I think he just forgot I was even there.
What a real... dud.
Yup.
Well, if you like trying new things,
and certainly less risky,
maybe you'd be interested in
cooking dinner with me at my place?
I don't mean to brag, but I can make a mean taco!
Oh! Um...
You're not going to say you're a professional
chef or something, right?
No, no, definitely not.
Um, I've just never been asked out by my doctor before.
Oh, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I-
Do you think I could eat tacos with one hand?
I think you have a pretty good chance at doing that, yeah.
Alright, sounds nice.
Okay. Let me give you my number.
Mmm...
Second thought, could I have your number?
Yeah, I'll put it in just so you know it's real.
So, what do I call you? Doctor Bailey? Doc Bailey?
My first name is Jared.
Okay, Doctor Jared. I'm Charlotte.
Charlotte...
Charlotte!
Oh, that's my ride. Um,
- Well thanks so much Dr. Jared. - Yeah.
I look forward to a much safer date.
- Oh- - Oh.
Sorry!
um, I'll text you in the next couple days, yeah?
Alright.
So, thankfully my arm is only a- buckle fracture?
But my whole side is one giant bruise.
Oh- and I have a mild concussion.
Geez! I- I mean did he push you off the cliff?
Like what happened?
No, no... he was just careless.
Well, I'd say that's a little bit more than just careless...
I should have known better.
Ugh... oh, and I decided that vigorous sports
are not really my thing.
But thanks for coming to get me.
- Oh absolutely! - My phone is, like, super smashed
and I didn't even know who I was texting.
I know it's your day off so...
Oh, no, no, please don't worry about it, I got your back.
It's an okay reason to text.
Actually I am, um, uh...
I broke my arm one time.
Story's not as cool as yours,

just kept going higher and higher,

so I have material to write about.
Ah, just material to write about- that would be so nice!
Hey!
Hi.
Haven't seen you around the building much.
Been busy.
Yeah. Me too.
Evidently.
I noticed I was lucky enough to be featured in one
of your Romantique articles.
Yeah, that was just-
Had an ex-girlfriend of mine share it to my timeline.
She said it sounded like me.
Didn't know it literally was me.
Thousands of comments about what a 'classless jerk' I was.
I don't think that's-
Then I saw your other articles.
About other guys who must have been
unfortunate enough to go out on dates with you.
I'm just glad you're finding good fodder
for your viral articles.
And I thought I was supposed to be the jerk.
I never lied about you.
Oh! But you were honest?

Yeah.
Oh...

Oh, my arm? It's fine. I mean, it's the same.
I don't know. Thing's are just--
weird.
Okay. Did you want to, uh, want to talk about it?
Happy to listen.
I feel like my articles are starting to hurt some people.
More than they're hurting me
And I was supposed to go out with this guy tonight,
but his work is understaffed so he canceled.
And I have this article due Friday
and it's taking me forever,
because I have to, like,
chicken peck the keyboard to get anything done.
That was a good visual. I appreciate that.
- You're welcome. - Um, I mean, like,
I'm happy to help you with it if you need help.
Yeah, I mean I definitely will need some
caffeinated beverages to get through this.
This is not what I mean.
I am more than a barista.
'K, I'm a human and I have two working hands.
Like, well, for real, if you want to just dictate I can,
I can type your article.
- Really? - Yeah.
Two at a time.
That's- yeah! Thank you.
That would actually be totally awesome.
Yeah! No, it's, it's honestly no problem. Happy to.
Are you busy right now?
Should Mr. Right be adventurous?
Should he try new things and be risky and daring?
Should he help you out of your comfort zone
and try new things?
Speaking of which, I tried rock climbing
for the first time this week.
How do I put this...
Who's that?
That is food.
- Food?! - Yep.
Hey, we're trying to help people fall in love.
- I figured we could use the energy. - What?
Hey!
Thank you so much.
Oh, did you get the, um, tip on the app?
Okay, awesome, thank you so much!
Pizza?
Is this what we're going to have every time,
is this our thing?
This is our thing, yeah.
No, uh, I was trying to be considerate
it's a one handed food, because I know you're an invalid.
Good point.
And I do love pizza.
Okay, so Mr. Right, right?
Mm, yeah it was Ms. Weir's- my boss's- brainchild.
Hmm...
I gotta ask, okay, so I thought that
so I always thought that Mr. Right was, like,
tall, dark, and handsome
- type of situation. - No, yeah, yeah.
that's what every woman's looking for in a man.
Okay, good to know...
Wait though, okay hypothetical,
so what if a guy is only, like, tall and dark?
Oh...
I guess that would be Mr. Almost right.
- Mr. Almost Right? - Yeah.
- So there's levels? - Yeah,
- There's levels to Mr. Right, okay. - Mhm.
Oh, so if he's none of them, he's just- just-
- Mr. Wrong. - Mr. Wrong.
- Yeah, now you're getting it. - I'm catching on.
I finally understand women fully.
- That's all you'll ever need to know. - That's all I need to know!...
Okay, so--
so, how tall is tall?
Ah, yeah, at least six feet.
You know, for me, yeah.
- That's cruel. - Hey, I need
- to be able to wear stilettos. - How dare you.
- You know? - Okay I get it, I get it.
And dark, that's like a,
- that's like an edginess, right? - Yeah, that's like an attitude.
- Okay. - Yeah, like,
mysterious, a little dangerous.
- Bad boy. - Yeah!
- Yeah, okay. - Yeah.
Not too bad obviously, yeah...
I'm a little afraid to ask this next one,
but what is-
what's handsome?
I don't know. Like, just handsome--
you know?
Like, you're handsome.
Thanks.
What about, uh...
would you say mysterious and dangerous?
Oh, no, no,
- you are too nice to be dangerous. - Come on!
But I'll- okay, I'll give you mysterious.
- Okay. - Yeah.
Right. So, I'm too nice,
I'm a couple inches shy of six feet,
I'm a little mysterious,
but I am handsome.
So that would make you a solid Mr. Almost Right.
Man, this is really crushing my hopes and dreams
of finding a Mrs. Right.
No, but you'll find Mrs. Almost Right,
- and be happy and-- - There you go!
two mediocres make beautiful children.
- Two mediocres! - And...
Match made in heaven,
it's a love story for the ages!
- Yes! Happily ever after. - Two solid five out of tens
find each other. That's, that's beautiful.
I, I want that for you.
Thank you! Uh, thank you so much,
you're so kind. Do you want, do you want more?
Yes please.
Okay, so Mr. Right,
he's got to be tall dark and handsome.
Mhm.
And also--
adventurous?
Yep, and a businessman.
And a doctor.
Ah, yeah, I guess we'll see.
Sounds like being Mr. Right
is getting more and more complicated.
Hey, I don't make the rules I just write about them.
So have you always wanted to be a writer?
Nope. Uh--
when I was five I wanted to be a princess.
Oh, there you go. That's a luxurious career,
why didn't that one pan out?
Oh, probably, I think,
for my eleventh birthday my grandma got me a journal
but I didn't really do anything with it until,
I think it was--
my parents divorce.
I'm sorry...
but what led to the writing?
I think as a kid I just, I was
trying to find ways to cope with everything and,
you know, whenever they'd scream at each other I-
I just started writing.
So I pulled out the old journal and...
at first I was writing about my frustrations
and then eventually I started writing about
other worlds to help see mine more clearly.
That's awesome.
I'm sorry about your parents, that's...
- tough. - Oh, it's okay.
I mean, me and my mom actually got really close
because of it.
- Hm. - You know, we kind of only
had each other for a long time.
Is dad still in the picture?
- Do you talk to him, or- - Oh, no. No, not for years.
There was a lot of bad blood between him and my mom.
So--
yeah...
I'm sorry to hear that.
It's fine. What about you?
What about your family?
We were close growing up.
My brother and my parents and...
I love my dad.
I wanted to be just like him, actually.
I ended up working at the exact same bank that he worked at.
- Wow. - Yeah.
- You in a three-piece suit. - Mmm.
I don't see it.
I hated it so much!
I was so bad at it.
I uh, worked there for five years.
- And yeah, hated every second of it, - Wow.
and then quit a year ago.
So what's next?
What's, what's the dream?
The dream?
It's a little cheesy, but I'm kind of living it.
- Making coffee? - Yeah, I'm doing what I want to-
okay, first of all hold up. I heard that tone!
- No, no judgment! - No, no! Look, coffee,
it's not just a drink, Charlotte, it's an artform.
There are monastery monks in, like,
the fifthteenth century who are using the
exact same brew that we use today, alright?
The bean, it unites generations,
Charlotte, okay?
Coffee's not just a drink.
You got to respect the bean!

Yeah? Put it in your article! There you go.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
I kind of feel like my readers are expecting me to be this,
like, relationship expert but I'm not.
Obviously.
Yeah. I don't know. I feel like...
I don't think anyone's expecting that of you.
I think the appeal of your article is relatability.
You're, you're really good at coming across, super genuine.
- Yeah. - Thanks.
And I think it will give people hope.
- Hope? - Yeah.
- It's right here. - Hope. Hmm.
Hope for what? For the fictitious happily ever after?
Fictitious? My oh my, you are a writer!
- Lots of good words. - Thank you.
Yeah.
I might have to push back
on the no happily-ever-after thing.
I think that...
I don't know, a lot of people I know,
when they found their someone they were-
it made them better.
Hmm... well, those are the lucky ones.
Because--
when my parents relationship blew up,
our whole family blew up, and...
Yeah.
None of us were better after that. But...
Sorry.
I can think of one positive thing
that came out of your parents relationship.
Oh yeah? What is that?
Sit down!
I don't know if I made that obvious enough.
I know where that comes from though, like, I know what you're-
I know what you're talking about.
My ex, um,
I really loved her.
I really--
genuinely cared about her.
And--
found out she was uh dating my best friend
the exact same time she was dating me.
So...
yeah, that was my reaction.
It was hard. That was really tough.
I was, um, bitter, I was really bitter for a long time,
because that's not something you just, like--
recover from.
You know?
It was really hard because
I didn't feel like I was just
losing someone that I loved,
you know, I was losing my best friend.
Yeah.
Gosh Liam, I'm sorry.
Their loss.
Yeah.
Yeah, it sucked, but--
it was interesting, because after the initial
kind of scar healed and, uh,
resentment kind of went away,
I started remembering the good stuff, too.
You know, I started to retain the positive things
from our relationship--
and not this person
I painted her to be in my head.
She was actually the one that--
kind of pushed me to quit my job at the bank.
She knew how miserable I was there.
She was all like, 'pursue your passions,
you got to pursue your passions!'.
She was really big on that.
So--
if she hadn't done that I wouldn't be
spending my days in coffee shops doing what I love,
and--
I wouldn't have met you...
And gone on this incredibly picturesque hike!
I know how to pick a spot.
- You do! You do! - It's pretty good.
Good choice.
My dad always said that real love was
liking who you were the most
around that other person.
So yeah, by his definition,
I absolutely believe in love.
We should probably get going.
Mm
Echanté.
Here we are!
- Wow! - Yeah.
Fifteen minute hike and you can't even see the city anymore.
That's cool, right?
- Yeah. - It really is crazy to think that just beyond that mountain
all this nature is a city.
Right? With a hundred-thousand dudes
who all want to date you so bad.
They want to contribute to the article!
They're trying to do the right thing.
- Lucky me! - Lucky you.
Talk about your dad a lot.
Are you guys still close?
He uh- he passed away a couple years ago.
Liam, I'm so sorry.
You're good. You didn't know. You're fine.
Yeah... I do miss him.
He was everything that I want to be as a man,
you know? He was compassionate, he was kind,
loved his kids, you know?
His co-workers all liked him, he was good at his job.
I think the thing that kind of sticks with me
the most is--
how much he loved my mom.
He was uh, really clear on that,
making her a priority, and--
yeah...she meant the world to him.
Well, he sounds wonderful.
Just like you!

taking all this time to show me around.
- Oh yeah, yeah. - Yeah.
- Absolutely. - It's finally starting to feel like home.
And I know you work a lot so thanks.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
No it's actually been super fun,
to kind of show somebody else, you know,

It makes it new for me, you know?

It's nice to see it from your perspective.
Yeah.

Would you want to go on a date with me next?
Uh...
Mmm...
Oh, you mean you want me to eviscerate you
in one of my articles?
No, no, I, I mean, like, genuinely,
would you want to go-
do you want to go on a date with me?
Uh...
Like a real date?
I don't think that's a good idea.
Why not?
I mean, look, we're spending all this time
with each other as it is and it's like...
I don't know.
If there are real feelings here,
- I think it's not bad that- - I mean,
how could you have feelings for me?
You hardly know me.
Yeah, no, um, I just-
Yeah, uh fair.
I'd like to get to know you more.
Like, I get-
I look forward to the next time
I'm going to see you.
And I want to see you tomorrow
and the next day and, like, just...
I'm saying a lot, uh...
Look, I say that because I mean it.
It's what I feel.
I can't.
Look, I know that
your parents didn't have the best situation,
and I cannot even begin to imagine
what you've been through.
Like, I'm not going to pretend like I can.
I can't.
But I don't think we should say no to the chance
of something good just because something bad-
- might happen. You know, like- - But, but, the chance of what?
For us just to, like, spend all this time dating
just to find out we were better off as friends?
Or, I don't know, until one of us get's bored?
I, I think, I think you're thinking ahead a little too much.
- Am I? - Yeah! Yes!
What about your last girlfriend?
What about my parents?
You know, they just got sick of each other.
What about your parents?
Your dad is gone and now your mom is all alone.
I mean, how can you guarantee something like that
won't happen to us?
I can't.
I can't, you're right.
I can't guarantee that nothing--
bad will happen.
But, like, I don't think anyone should completely
shut down on the idea of love
just because life also happens.
And for me the risk is worth it.
I've never needed a romantic relationship.
And, frankly, I'm, I'm fine with the way things are.
- Yeah, no. - Yeah, yeah... - That's just the way it is.
So...
um, see you.
Yeah. 'Kay.

Oh um, somebody left this for you.
Thanks again for letting me borrow your book.
It was great to talk with you about it.
I wanted to return the favor with a book of my own.
This was one of my absolute favorites growing up
and it reminds me a lot of my own family.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Liam.
P.S. If all you want is friendship,
that is more than enough for me.

This week I went on a date with Mr. Almost-Right.
Mr. Almost-right is kind and fun to talk to.
He listens to you and sends you
notes about his favorite books.
Helps you feel at home in a new city and makes you laugh.
He makes you feel safe so you open up about personal things.
You share you fears and he listens.
So why, you may ask, is he not Mr. Right?
I don't know...
♪ GUITAR STRUMS LAST CHORD ♪
Hmm,
I don't know what to say, Charlotte.
I'm not so sure about this 'Mr. Almost-Right'.
Oh, okay, um,
I guess I can revise it and, uh,
try to get something to the editors on time?
I mean he seems pretty right to me?
Is there something you want to talk about?
Uh, the guy, uh, Jimmy,
that this article is supposed to be about,
I don't know, as I was writing it kind of
started--
turning out to be about someone else.
Can I suggest, after reading this,
that you reevaluate your outlook on love?
Look, you work for one of the premier
relationship sites on the internet.
And we do, as an official stance,
accept that there are the proverbial
prince charming's out there.
But after your spree of dud dates that you've written about,
this one--
this article--
it makes you sound extremely pessimistic.
Look, I think that it's best that we postpone
the Mr. Right article for the week...
give you some time.
Is that okay?
Yeah...yeah.
Charlotte.
Char. Hellooooo?
This is Earth to Charlotte, can you read me? Over.
Are you okay?
Are- are you still mad about the fight?
I'm sorry. I do this thing where I try to help people
and instead I just end up pushing them away.
And I don't want to push you away,
you're my best friend.
You're my best friend, too.
And I probably needed to hear what you had to say
even though I didn't like it...
Oh, you were right!
I know... about what?
Liam. He asked me out the other night.
Stop! Oh my gosh, no wait, this is perfect!
- No- no! - Mr. Coffee!
- This is not going to happen. - What?
- So stop. - 'K, why not?
Because going out with those guys was work.
Going out with Liam would be...
not work.
Oh my gosh, you have feelings for him!
- No, no! - Oh no, this is perfect,
- because he has feelings for you too. - No,
- he has from day one - but I don't-
It's been so obvious.
I don't want him to have feelings for me! Okay?
Because then I'd lose a friend and a coffee shop,
and I'd have to see him every day.
It's just weird!
I came to the city for this job.
So it'd just be a horribly bad, terrible, terrible idea.
Okay, look, I know you
just literally got done being mad at me,
but hear me out-
it kind of sounds like you're just afraid
of getting hurt.
Which is totally okay. It's normal.
If you don't let yourself fall for someone,
then yeah,
you're not going to get hurt.
But then you also miss out
on one of the greatest parts of life.
Yeah but how do you know it's worth it?
You don't, I mean,
that's the whole point.
You got to take a risk, Char.
But, I mean, hey, worst case scenario,
let's say it all goes south,
you'll have your best friend there to bring you soup
and to stay with you until it gets better.
I think you should talk to him.
Not like that! I just...
I don't want to lose our coffee discounts!
I did kind of snap at him.
Hey Sarah.
Is it just you today?
Yeah, Liam's working at a different location.
Oh...
You ladies want the usual?
- Oh, uh, not today. Thanks. - Thanks.
What was that about?
I told them you weren't here today.
Really? Why?
You know, it's part of the girl code.
Protect your friend from the jerk who blew them off.
You are aware I'm not a woman, right?
Close enough.
Man, I really thought,
I really thought there was something genuine there.
I guess my intuition is not as good as I thought.
What did she say?
She said she was afraid that I'd ruin it,
which I guess I kind of did.
Okay look,
I'm going to give you some advice
and then you can give me
that raise that I've been asking about.
Please.
So the way I see it you have two options:
either move on or just be her friend.
If you keep trying to be her friend but
you're always hoping for more you're just going to
end up hurting yourself. Or her.
Yeah. Yeah...
I think you're right.
Now, about my raise.
Buy yourself something nice.

You may feel that Mr. Right is a fantasy.
An elusive day-dream that's only for children's stories
or the naïve.
But now I'm a believer.
Mr. Right isn't a particular kind of guy across the board,
he's that certain person who you feel like
you can be your best self with.
But who is the 'right' person?
If you've been reading my dating adventures-
over the past couple months then
you would think Mr. Right was no-where to be found.
I've been writing about other guys
who I didn't continue dating.
But it doesn't mean that they were Mr. Wrong.
They just weren't MY Mr. Right.
But, this past week I've learned something new.
Something to help me see the world differently.
Mr. Right wasn't some special guy,
far off and unreachable,
atop my hopelessly high expectations.
Instead--
he was right in front of me the entire time.
And hey--
yours might be also.
Alright, watch your step.
Don't inhale the dust. You're good.
Where are we?
Take a seat.
Voilà!
This is my new location.
Um, we open up in about a week.
Wait--
new location?
Yeah.
Do you own the coffee shop?
I learned that I had to take risks
and just let myself experience life.
Mr. Right is out there,
you just have to give him a chance
when he comes along.
So keep looking
because Mr. Right could be anyone.
