I had been trying for months to do it.

Then one day, I got really, really high.

I said “Teehee, I wanna do the splits”

And I just sliiiiiiiiid riiiight into it.

My friend said “Wow”
”... AM I DOING THE SPLITS?”
“Why, yes you are”
“OMIGAWSH! ahh1 YAY!”

So, my advice is to not do it so seriously. Before that time, I was thinking about hard and serious. Let it happen as if you were just playing around.
