I still think about a woman from my first job at a spa in Portland, she came in for a facial and said 'you're the first person who's touched my face since my husband passed'

Maybe I'm just jaded, but that feels like a line. People say stuff for effect all the time, especially in those quiet, personal service settings. It's a heavy thing to drop on a stranger doing your pores.

Honestly, that reminds me of the time my barber told me his whole divorce story while trimming my neck. Felt like I was in a weird therapy session. Some people just unload when they have a captive audience.

Captive audience syndrome, it's like people forget you're a human not a diary.
