They prefer the term 'illusionist'.

I'm no longer optimistic.

I'm less valuable now to the people around me & the world as a whole.

I've reduced the options available to me in all facet of my life; employment, travel, living, independence as I age.

I'm sick of pretending I'm ok with this all, bc I'm not.

You prob were real friends then, but just different people now.

Do you ever think of your friends now, and wonder what they were like 20 years ago & what you were like 20 years ago, and you just know that you wouldn't have been friends if you met in the past?

It's similar, but in reverse.

I've never felt so calm & relaxed. My anxiety has vanished.

In the last month I've had ONE (1) coffee, no other caffeine & very limited alcohol (like, maybe 5 drinks).

(I've also averaged 350mg of opioids per day, so it may be that.)

... the buzzer rings & you go to the counter. It's a vending machine experience.

And at the same time it seemed like a place you wouldn't stay. A drop-in point half way to where you really wanted to be, at least that's my antipodean POV.
