AM 7.0 - The Measure of a Man / Morrison Shouts in my Ear

STAGE 2, DAY 3,

Went to the bar of a mid-scale restaurant to catch up with a friend; he's about 15 years older, wealthier, more successful.
While I was waiting, I couldn't get myself to relax and feel normal.
It didn't help that a previous gym crush works there and recognized me; I used to idealize her but now that's gone.
The waitresses were pretty - the one at the front looked a lot like a sexier Sabrina Carpenter - but I didn't feel it in myself to talk to any of them.

STAGE 2, DAY 4,

Was at an older real estate guy's breakfast - he organizes it every Thursday morning and invites all his friends.
I woke up not feeling like it; these tracks have been hitting me like a brick, and I wake up feeling like it.

I still showed up, and I had that feeling - described in the marketing copy - of being caught between realities.
It didn't go away after coffee, or after the breakfast. That feeling comes up during conversations.
Very interesting!
