Get a life

To set this straight: it is not Berlin's fault. True, gentrification destroys entire neighborhoods, and disastrous urban development kills the rest. However, the reason why I feel so disaffected lately is my own life. My good life, to be precise.
Talking the night away with a great friend in a good bar, the best sushi in town, original cut movie night on a lazy Sunday night, and yeah, that fine show at the Neue Nationalgalerie. Never change a winning team. But then you sit in this tunnel and bridge bar in Mitte and fight down the same feeling that chokes you in a gentrified Manhattan restaurant. You start to realize your life has grown up a little, but your lifestyle has not. In theory, you know exactly what needs to be done. But then your good life intervenes, and things simply drag on.
