I'm getting too old for this shit.
And James suddenly has a moment.

And I think I know what bothers me the most here. I’m not drunk, so I’ve not completely betrayed my goal, but why I drank really does bother me.

It was entirely to become a different person. Not literally, I’d not lie about who I am, but to become confident enough to dance. To talk to strangers. To talk to people I know earnestly.

This is a big part of the whole “working on things I don’t like about myself” thing, and I really don’t like that I reverted to drinking as an aid so quickly.
