Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride.

I'd like to be happier. I should be happy ... I'd like to be able to look out the window and say, 'Yeah, life is good.' When the therapist asks “... and you don't ?,” he answers with a simple, reflexive “No”. He also confides to the therapist that he attributes his problems to a narcissistic personality disorder. And when the therapist asks how long he has had this trait, he says “I think always. So nothing to be done."

Wouldn't it be nice if Americans could just be normal, Bill and Barry were the closest we ever got to normal Americans in the top job, they both turned out to be sexual degenerates, pillow biting and raping kids ffs. It's all so tiresome.
