A text

Today's world is so technology advanced, this writer feels that you need to go take classes to keep up with all the social media. Well, I never took a class, or as my clients let me know daily, keep up with the times Tod! Texting is a great way to have your client check in with you, vent, or provide support miles away. This last weekend, (still not 100%, more like 76%- I increase a percent each day) I get this text from a potential, new client. I did talk to his parents, and we are in the process of scheduling a intervention. I am still suffering from this influenza, or viral what ever that I have not had the opportunity to get back to some of you. Today I slowly begin that process. I text this new guy, ok to share I was told a hour ago, and decide to blog on this text. This is a young man, who is in his 30's who is trying out for a part. It sounds like he is a determined actor, trying to get ahead and move out of his parents estate. I am told he finished three commercials, and is building his portfolio. The first text he introduced himself, and was having a hard time coping with this reading that he had later today. He wanted to use, but decided that would not help his cause. I texted back support and acknowledged that he needed change his way of thinking and take a walk? Well five minuets went by and he was sitting outside of his drug dealer's house waiting for him to get up. It was very early, and the west coast sun was not even up! I then asked if wanted to talk over the phone instead. He declined and was obviously awaiting for his guy to roll out of bed. I then texted, too bad you lost this part. He then texted back with profanity, and delivered a litany of excuses how he would nail this part. I texted back, not if you high dude. He then texted me that intervention is off, and I could go blank myself. I thought very carefully what my next text would be if any? I actually thought about calling his parents, but decided that I would lead with this. I explained to him first, I was still getting over the flu, and wanted him to understand that my patience level may be lacking. Dude, I started, if you really want this part, and really want to channel all of your talent, you don't need a pick me up, what you need is to nail this part, and show yourself that you can do it sober. If you cant do sober, then you are the only one holding yourself back. Thanks for the time, thanks for the reach out. Hope to see one of your commercials soon. Five seconds went by, and I get this text that he drove off, heading back to his house. I'm wondering in the back of my head did he use? Then I get the phone call from his mother, thanking me for talking to her son. Her son was eating breakfast and practicing his lines. I then told his mother, stay in your health, stay in the moment.
