usually when this happens I can style it out, pivot, fix it and make it look like it was no biggie
not this time
this time I had to say "I fcked up, sorry, I've fixed it now but no argument it was a fck up. By me. Uh oh."
hate this, so humiliating

Hard luck
It happens
It is usually mortifying
If it was not then our brains would not fear the sensation in future and we would not strive to avoid repeat fookuppery

Great chasm opens up
You, wormlike, wriggle in, aflame with anxiety
Minutes ago, a peacock walking with swagger on firm ground. Boom…

How it is.
