my thesis is that we are really not supposed to be alone at night. if daytime was ancestrally for finding food and tending to physical needs, nighttime should’ve been for gathering around the fire, telling stories, tending to social needs. i think the despair is just loneliness https://t.co/IXZdz57lHY

why does this happen? why does the nighttime inspire despair? is it as simple as “no more sun”? https://t.co/2Xr4S7LMRC

@QiaochuYuan Yeah this sounds right. It only hits me if I’m the only one awake. Come to think of it, if I like… get up for water and run into my brother in law in the kitchen, it gets like… jostled.

funnily enough being on social media at 3am might be the closest many of us can get to that gathering around the campfire feeling at night. you just wanna know you aren’t alone

@QiaochuYuan i figured out recently that this is why i always prefer hostels to hotels if i'm traveling alone give me the snoring and coughing and smells and all of that, i just do not want to sleep in a box all by myself

@QiaochuYuan i will also happily camp alone because the plants and animals feel like sleeping companions, but i know not everyone feels that way about them

@QiaochuYuan This feels crazy to me, I love being alone I don't feel despair at night, It's a nice, quiet time to think about whatever I want or just sit there and feel myself existing I get some of my best inspiration and ideas during this time

@VividVoid_ @QiaochuYuan i don't mind being around people at night, but yeah, the night is time for me to have some peace, reflect on the day, be insane where no one will care...if someone can vibe with that, great, but most people kinda get antsy unless i entertain them to some degree.
