On day 69 of 75-Hard, the speaker hits a lonely stretch where old friends mock his new habits like not drinking and reading instead. He calls this the universal gap between who you were and who you're becoming, something everyone faces when they change.
There is a period in everybody's journey where they are so different because they've started to do new things that they no longer fit in with their old set of friends, but they're not sufficiently developed that they've gained their new set of friends. And all of my friends are taking the piss. Oh, not drinking again? Too good for us, are we? Not drinking. Not going out again this week? Oh, okay, well, like, enjoy staying in home and reading, fucking nerd. And that lonely chapter that's in the middle is something that I would say almost nobody that I've ever met who has gone from a place where they are to a place where they want to be Hasn't gone through.
