Stop starting sentences "I ALMOST..."

I’ve noticed a minor trend with myself: I tell my friends stories that go like this: “I was in the coffee shop the other day, and I saw this cute girl. I ALMOST got up the nerve to talk to her…” And, well, you can see that the story kind of fades out after that.

I want to start doing the things I think about doing. Even if it goes wrong somehow, that’s still going to be a better story to tell later, right?
